- MTV propagates very well internationally. There are branches in Europe
- and Japan (I've seen the Japanese variant), and it's identified by most
- people there as being uniquely "American" like Coca-Cola or McDonald's.

- I wouldn't mind an alt.tv.mtv so much, but there is an existing group
- rec.music.video that would overlap it in content.

- Thoughts?
