Channels provide the audience with a wide variety of choice of the music they are looking for on the channel each mainstream genre will have a music channel dedicated to that genre of music so views are guaranteed.

Under representation of music channels:
There are many genres of music that are not largely represtented on music channels for example:
Folk and country are underrepresented because in the UK since they are more populer in the USA.
Religious music is not represented well due to a decline in the amount of people who are religious in this day and age.
Advantage of music channels:
- Direct way of targeting the audience individual audiences.
- Markets and promotes of the artists music video and their new song to make them more succesful.
- Satisfies the fans as there is a demand for music videos are in high demand by fans.
- The music channel shows the audience that the artist wants and to the target audience of the music video.

I think my music video would play on MTV as it will be very mainstream and appeal to a large audience that already had a big following.
