MTV is (supposedly) a music channel, so they should cover all forms of music and award shows relating to music.

This is a terrible year for the BET Awards. Music for the past year has been crap.

Yeah they're both owned by Viacom.  Which is why they both suck dog dick.

That's true. Although BET tends to be more run by Viacom, since MTV has it's own divsion/network (conglomerate) under it.

I feel like MTV is more willing than BET to play a wider selection of rap videos, except for UnCut, which shows videos of strippers half naked shaking their asses, but uses the word "dancer" instead of stripper in T-Pains "In Love With A Stripper".
