New look for MTV channels from today.

The MTV channels have been refreshed today, but not without teething problems though.

There's currently overlapping text on some channels and random black bars in the bottom left of the screen. Also, the logos seem a bit too far left.

Does anyone still watch these music channels?

I used to love the MTV adverts back then, quite risqué! Especially the lady with the chainsaw sawing MTV in half! Loved it

And they aired the Æon Flux animé. Definitely a bit risque.

MTV is no long a music channel. So many rubbish reality shows and no music now.

Even the site http://www.mtv.co.uk/ is just a news page of reality nonsense and non celeb news! Its like Digital Spy!

Music news should be all over it!!!

All the MTV music channels are 100% music. Non music programmes disappeared several years ago.

I find most of the Viacom channels utter bilge if I'm honest.
