Say Goodbye to MTV’s Total Request Live
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Cable, MTV, Cancellations, News
After 10 years on air, an MTV program supposedly dedicated to videos will be going on an indefinite break.
Today, Dave Sirulnick, the executive producer for TRL, announced the long-running series will be coming to a close. The show, which debuted in 1998 with host Carson Daly, will get a two-hour sendoff on a Saturday sometime in November.
In the past decade, the daily countdown show has welcomed a countless list of stars and accommodated hordes of screaming girls. Unfortunately, interest in the program starting waning around the time Daly moved on to late-night pastures. Last year, the network decided to air only 4 installments a week (down from 5) after seeing a decrease in viewers.
According to Sirulnick, Total Request Live’s departure may not necessarily be a permanent one. It was simply agreed that the show was in need of a “break.” Maybe MTV will eventually revisit the format once they start caring about videos again?

Big Names Attached to VMAs

Each year, the VMAs honor the artists that give us the most appealing music videos – somehow, the artists who get the nods are also top sellers. Beyonce and Justin Timberlake cleared seven nominations each, and both are up for video of the year. MTV’s glitzy awards show always features live music, celebrity interviews, and plenty of moon man statues. Beyonce got the video of the year nod for “Irreplaceable,” while Timberlake’s “What Goes Around…Comes Around” and “D.A.N.C.E.” both grabbed a spot in this best-of-the-best category. Amy Winehouse was nominated for “Rehab,” Rihanna for “Umbrella,” and Kanye West will compete with “Stronger” for video of the year.
