Today, the main MTV network has all but abandoned playing music outside of special occasions like the [[MediaNotes/MTVVideoMusicAward Video Music Awards]].[[note]] As of October 22, 2023, MTV only airs an hour of videos on Saturday morning (''Fresh Out Playlist'') apparently in order to fulfill contracts with its providers requiring music programming; MTV did not have a regular video block for a period that spanned from the 2014 end of ''MTV First'' to the 2019 premiere of the short-lived ''TRL Top 10''. During this time videos were only seen during commercial breaks, video premieres, and special occasions; for instance, the death of Music/{{Prince}} in April 2016 saw the channel pre-empt its afternoon programming to devote several hours worth of airtime to playing his videos.[[/note]] Even [=MTV2=], which used to play only a few hours of music a day in the early morning hours, eventually dropped its video blocks in November 2017. Despite music videos being the first to film consistently in the format, they didn't even air any videos in Platform/HighDefinition until August 2012, long after rival network Fuse (which was created partly in response to MTV's decay) had converted to HD. The kids of the "MTV Generation" have grown up to have kids of their own, and the network's popularity amongst music fans has faded a great deal since its heyday in the '80s and '90s due to the aforementioned rise of online music services; the current erosion of cable ratings across the television landscape as TV viewing has similarly moved online doesn't help the network's case either. To further underscore this, the channel's milestone 40th anniversary on August 1, 2021 wasn't even celebrated on the channel or social media outlets; instead the channel aired an all-day marathon of ''Series/{{Ridiculousness}}'', [[AdoredByTheNetwork as per usual]]. The 40th anniversary was acknowledged and celebrated properly during the 2021 Video Music Awards, a month later.
