The year of 2009 has become the year of the King as every television outlet has chronicled the star. The 2009 BET Awards were dedicated to Michael Jackson, as were many other programs. Now, it is MTV’s turn.
MTV owes a lot of its success to Michael Jackson because he single-handedly evolved the music video. It is safe to say that without Jackson, there would be no MTV. The executives at MTV realize this and they realize that Michael Jackson is an attention-grabber.
The network’s other headline is their yearly Video Music Awards. This year, they have decided to honor the man who built the network into what it is. Michael Jackson died earlier this year and all of Viacom’s music networks have had tributes for the fallen star.
The VMAs have a wider audience and more respect from attendees than the BET Awards, so maybe Michael Jackson will receive a proper memorial during this ceremony as opposed to the one in June. The network has also had other tributes for Jackson over the summer.
The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will premiere on September 13, 2009 at 8:00 pm.
