Not me. I was all 'wtf?' when my boyfriend put it on.


For those, like me, that feel out of the loop right now. Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MtvU

mtvU is a division of Viacom's MTV Networks which produces a 24-hour television channel that is available on more than 750 college and university campuses across the United States, as well as several digital cable packages. It provides a more targeted alternative to MTV, and gives advertisers and music promotion companies access to college-age viewers, access that universities offer in an attempt to attract students to on-campus housing.[1] The music played on the station is primarily indie rock, pop punk and hip-hop.

The Woodies is their college award show. I was shocked to hear the music on there.. and even more shocked that I liked some. So I googled thinking maybe someone had hacked MTV to put non-mainstream stuff on. I found out that two bands I listen to frequently have already won Woodies! How the HELL did I not know about this.
I feel weird about this.
 
They play MtvU on campus where I go to school, but it seems that it's mostly rap and hip hop. There are some lesser known tracks that play, but I'm not really in the commons all that often, so I don't see much. I think it's a pretty cool channel though.
