TRL Canceled — For Real This Time!

TRL Canceled — For Real This Time!

Total Request Live, better known as TRL, has been officially canceled after ten years. (This was a rumor back in Feburary, but it’s a done deal now.)

TRL executive producer Dave Sirulnick said that show, which is taped in Times Square, will take its final bow in a two-hour special on a Saturday afternoon in November. He added that show isn’t “ending for good” but needs a “break.”

Originally hosted by Carson Daly, the music video countdown show premiered music videos and helped to launch the careers of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, ‘NSync and other teen pop acts.

Where will artists premiere their music videos now? Online? FNMTV?

R.I.P. T.R.L. (1998 - 2008)

trl never show full vids anymore. i’d rather keep trl with full videos.
and just cancel all the other crap reality shows on a music channel.

thats sooo sadd… ever since i can remember trl was around and i was hoping to be part of the audience just ONCE but that obviously isnt gonna happen anymore =(

NOOO!!! I love that show why are they canceling it they just brought over a VJ from australia oh well they better bring it back soon

good it was much better with crason, I stopped watching it a lot after he left. When they actually played the whole music videos when TRL first came on. I think i’ll stick with FNMTV. Love it.

well..to be honest, TRL hasnt been the same since Carson Daly left…and does MTV notice that they have to change their name, since, well…theres nothing really music about it anymore..

i agree with #29 @ 09/15/2008 at 8:22 pm

RIP TRL?
RIP MTV!
I have no idea why they still call themselves music television when it’s all “reality” shows and dating show sh*t.
They hardly ever play videos and even TRL usually just played pieces of them.
They still hold the video music awards which they should stop as well, seeing it’s obvious MTV couldn’t care less about videos.. they’re never on.

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank God! They only showed 15 seconds worth of videos.

Thank God! They only showed 15 seconds worth of videos.

NOOO! omg this is SO sad! i’ve grown up watching TRL! and ughhh FNMTV SUCKKKSSSS!!!!

lets petition it!

o w.e….i’ll survive…we have FNMTV though!!…so YAY!!!

MTV needs to relaunch itself as something other then MTV. It’s been neglecting music for a long time now and only pays attention to videos when it wants to throw an award show and get lots of celebs there for press and advertising cash.

Wow. I knew it had changed over the years, and I didn’t really watch TRL much anymore, but to have it gone for good is a sad day.

Sad….. When I think of mtv I always think of TRL its soo sad mtv is becoming less mtv-ish now lol REST IN PIECE TRL WILL NEVER BE 4GOTTEN

HOPEFULLY…. lol

good, this show sucks now.

really, where are all these artists going to put their music videos where the public will actually see them full on.

i know a lot of people watch mtv, as well as trl .. so this network can definitely influence the music we listen to. what is everyone going to resort to now? my guess is the internet.

than again, mtv is no longer going by it’s name “music tv”, with all this reality junk they’ve decided to air which sucks. where is the music? false advertising much.

MTV is all reality now. I remember what it was like back in the day; when the channel consisted of actual music video’s 24/7. Music is dead, and that is one of the main reasons this show when down the tubes. Let’s just start calling it RTV, because it’s nothing but Reality TV.

ahh that totally sucks:(

might as well just say the world is coming to an end.

TRL put the music in MTV, now MTV is a waste.
