Had an interesting conversation with Jeff Patterson from IUMA (a great
guy by the way). He sez that MTV is emphasizing formatted half-hour
shows because the way TV ratings work, you have to have half-hour shows.
They can now up the ad prices on their rate cards because they can show
ratings for their (game) shows.

SHAMELESS PLUG:

Watch the Dennis Rodman Show on MTV (14 weekly episodes, started a few
weeks ago) - there are FOUR Galactic tracks being used for background
music... I don't have cable, so I'd like to know if anyone who has the
CD hears the songs...
