Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Mtvu shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Mtvu offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Mtvu at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Mtvu? Wrong! If the Mtvu is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Mtvu then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Mtvu? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Mtvu and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Mtvu wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Mtvu then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Mtvu site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Mtvu, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Mtvu, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
mtvU (formerly
College Television Network or
CTN) is a division of
MTV Networks which broadcasts a 24-hour television channel that is available on more than 750 college and university campuses across the United States. A Viacom-owned channel, mtvU both provides an alternative to standard music television for college students, and gives advertisers and music promotion companies access to college-age viewers, a valuable but traditionally difficult-to-reach demographic group. At universities to which mtvU gains access, TV monitors are often set up in student centers and fitness centers, as well as in dorm lounges and common areas; students can also access mtvU through closed circuit cable. CTN originally began as a venture that installed video jukeboxes at these locations.
On August 2, 2006, Viacom's mtvU announced an agreement to acquire Y2M Youth Media & Marketing Networks, the parent of
College Publisher, the largest interactive network of online college newspapers in the US.
In February 2007, Viacom's mtvU announced an agreement to acquire RateMyProfessors.com, a website that allows college students to rate their professors.
According to its promotional materials, mtvU broadcasts exclusive content dedicated to aspects of college life, including music, news, and on-campus events. The channel was the first MTV network to stream all of its content online. On-campus events include the Campus Invasion tour, featuring up-and-coming bands; the GAME0Rz Ball tour, which brings new video games to campus; and Tailgate Tour, which provides mtvU with a presence at campus tailgates.
mtvU plays a mix of music programming with an emphasis on emerging artists. Each hour, mtvU broadcasts news updates from ABC News (formerly CBS News, but switched in the fourth quarter of 2006), including international news and college-related news. Twice an hour, MTV News airs stories on subjects such as music downloading, and musical artists under promotion by mtvU.
Additionally, mtvU airs several original programs produced by and featuring college students.
The Freshmen features three rotating student panelists discussing new music videos and is hosted by Kim Stolz;
Stand-In brings celebrities and intellectuals into college classrooms to teach for a day, and has featured people as diverse as Nobel Laureates Elie Wiesel and
Shimon Peres; Madonna (entertainer); John McCain;
Marilyn Manson; and
Jhumpa Lahiri.
mtvU also has its own annual awards show, the Woodie Awards, which they say recognizes "the music voted best by college students." Previous winners have included 2005's
Death Cab for Cutie, Motion City Soundtrack, and the Afters; 2006 winners include the Plain White T's,
the Subways, Gnarls Barkley, and
30 Seconds to Mars. The 2006 ceremony was also notable for Jared Leto's altercation with Elijah Wood and Scott from the music blog Stereogum.http://www.bestweekever.tv/2006/10/26/sizzler-gollum-leto-hates-hobbitses/
Student activism is also key to mtvU. The online game
Darfur is Dying was developed as part of an mtvU contest, and other Darfur conflict coverage won mtvU two Emmys, including the 2006 Governors Award. mtvU also provides grants for student activists, giving away $1000 a week to various student groups. Currently, mtvU is also cosponsoring the ecomagination Challenge with GE, which aims to empower college students to solve environmental problems on campuses. mtvU also sponsored the
Film Your Issue competition, a competition designed to encourage college-age filmmakers to make short political pieces, and aired the winners.
Other opportunities mtvU provides for college students include Digital Incubator grants, which award students who are pioneering the future of broadband content, and the Student Filmmaker Award, which provides the winner with the chance to receive a development deal with mtvU and collect the award at the MTV Movie Awards. Besides these competitions, mtvU makes efforts to use student work through its programming.
