  1. A lot of the channels available in the industry are identified. Benefits of having a video played on a channel is discussed and the expansion of music videos is also mentioned. The discussion on MTV and how they play different shows like 'The Fresh Prince' to keep audiences for longer is also discussed.

    -what channel would you play your music video and why?
