I think you have to be on the inside to know *exactly* what either of
these channels, or a commercial music radio station, will be playing
at any given time.  Think about it.  If you knew exactly when Kate
videos would be played a week, say, in advance, you could watch only
at those times.  This is not what the channels want you to do.  They
want you to stay glued to the TV set (or radio), hoping that the next
song is the one you like.  Then you have to watch the commercials,
which from their point of view is the whole point.

Of course, the stations will give you teasers to keep you interested,
but they'll never tell you exactly when a video will be played unless
it's the next one.

Of course, if you meant whether we can find out in advance when MTV's
shows, like "120 Minutes", "Yo MTV Raps", or VH-1's artist specials
are on, that's not hard.  Some TV guides include this information.
