Starting Aug. 1, CTV is “rebranding” its Razer specialty channel (which had the occasional Buffy episode, but little else of interest to anyone over 12) to MTV2, which I can only imagine will make it suck more.
The move completes the transition of the specialty network from a youth-oriented TV network to a youth-oriented music TV channel in the same family as MuchMusic, MuchMoreMusic etc.

Well I’m happy. I liked MTV2 because it’s all video and I was P-Oed when it was turned into a crappy MuchMusic all request station.
Razer had great anime like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Shin-Chan….
They also had Duckman..
Didn’t Razer begin its life as “MTV Canada”, when Craig owned a piece of it, but CTV didn’t? Then the vagaries of media ownership in Canada forced a name change… but now things are coming full circle.
Yeah, Wikipedia has the whole complicated story.
When I lived in Europe, MTV2 UK was fantastic, playing 90% music videos and had BBC’s (may be somewhere else now) Zane Low as VJ who really played good music. If it is anything like that, I would be happy.
Man That Sux!!! I use to watch all the anime on fridays on there, during the week there was never anything on, but when the weekend came the anime was great!
