some comments edit

I was at the University of KY (1999-2003) and saw this back when it was CTN. And I thought Channel One was bad, this was ten times worse! They just kept playing the same ten music videos over and over and over and over and over again. Very irrating when working one of the food service places and having to hear that stupid "blue aliens" video every half hour. :P I just hope it's at least somewhat better now.76.182.144.118 (talk) 12:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

This article needs to be expanded upon, include a neutral point of view and needs a general redoCuahl 4 July 2005 19:41 (UTC)

Right, starting with the fact that it's first three letters ARE capitalized in the network logo, and on its website. The name of the network is MTVU. -- Pete Scholtes

internactive network of newspapers edit

On August 2, 2006, Viacom's mtvU announced an agreement to acquire Y2M Youth Media & Marketing Networks, the parent of College Publisher, the largest interactive network of online college newspapers in the US.

What on earth is an interactive network of college newspapers? —mako (talkcontribs) 00:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

removed addition edit

At universities to which mtvU gains access, TV monitors are often set up in student centers and fitness centers, as well as in dorm lounges and common areas; students can also access mtvU through closed circuit cable. CTN originally began as a venture that installed video jukeboxes at these locations.

The person who added a whole bunch of apparently true information and replaced it without the text above. I am skeptical because of the users rather rough edit history because a search of Google News turned up nothing relevant. If this is true, please provide an reference and add it back. —mako (talkcontribs) 19:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reference #8 is no longer a valid link. edit

Winners at the 2009 Woodie Awards included Green Day, Kings of Leon, Matt & Kim, NeverShoutNever, Tech N9ne and Hotel of the Laughing Tree.[8]

Reference #8 is not a working reference, link points to unrelated website.Peterjimmyloo (talk) 19:05, 23 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

MtvUMTVU – Styled in all caps now, see Facebook page. – 73.178.42.174 (talk) 20:25, 10 September 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 14:15, 18 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

From WP:RMT: Mixed case remains in use on the official website.[1] - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 22:03, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose – we generally avoid all caps, and there's no good case for it here. Dicklyon (talk) 22:47, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, since we do use all-caps for acronyms, which MTV is itself, and MTVU by extension (it's actually a "chained" acronym, of televisionTV , then Music + TVMTV, then University in proper names → U, then MTV + UMTVU). Ever rendering it as "MtvU" on Wikipedia was actually a MOS:TM problem, an imitation of a logo stylization, of the "Mtv" stylization of the MTV logo in the middle of the MTVU logo. How we ever ended up with "mtvU" (with lower-case m) in the text at all is a mystery, since that doesn't even match the branding in the first place.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  03:31, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment - Based on the WP:RMT request and MOS, I would have moved the page; but a quick check at http://www.mtvu.com & http://www.mtvu.com/about/mtvu/ shows that the "mtvU" stylisation is still in use, at least in some places. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 04:58, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • I had the same idea! I re-put it myself (with a different description).180.200.151.44 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:02, 18 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support – All caps seems to be appropriate as the new logo on-air and on social media now uses the MTV logo. At this time, it appears that the MTVU website has not been updated since sometime in the spring. Coldapple (talk) 02:34, 21 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support – we do use all caps when the letters are pronounced (e.g. a TV station). What we don't do is name an article in all caps simply because that's how the company stylizes their name (e.g. DirecTV, stylized as DIRECTV). Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 14:01, 21 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
