   Get a dish and aim it at Anik B1, transponder #6, MuchMusic. We used
to set a S-VHS tape and record six hours stretches of this channel when
I used to work in Kansas City. I'm sure that if this was my only music
channel I'd get bored by it, but it was much better than Empty-Vee.
Real VJs in a real set, actually talking in spaces between videos,
rather than recording all the talk in one 2-hour session for a 5-hour
show. Letters from real people and *requests*, rather than Empty-Vee's
"Dial MTV" stupidity. "The most popular videos of the day" insures
the lowest common denominator of taste. 

   Kinda makes you miss Night Flight. Oh sure, a pale imitation still
airs, but they haven't produced a new segment in years.

   Do you wonder if Kate is aware of the kind of cynicism she creates
in her fans? She'd probably freak if she was made aware of it.
