Result for: video catalog
MTV has announced the launch of MTVMusic.com, an video site devoted to showing off MTV’s large music video catalog.
The new site includes 16,000 videos, tons of “MTV Uunplugged” performances and exclusive MTV concert footage. MTV says more videos are being added daily and they should have their full catalog up soon.
MTV Networks also has community features using its Flux technology, allowing users to rate videos, comment, and share the code on Facebook, MySpace and other sites.
The broadcaster will have an uphill battle winning market share back from YouTube but overall the new site is very good and should remain popular.
