   It's been worthless ever since they quit showing videos. The last time   
   I watched anything on it was Beavis & Butt-head which now has a few new   
   episodes occasionally on Comedy Central.   
      
   Then they had VH1 for a while for videos but even it's long gone.   
      
   My provider offers a lot of free music channels, all they do is change   
   pictures from time to time but at least you can pick a genre you can   
   stand to listen to.   
      
   There's also the iHeart Radio app for streamers.
