Unless something has drastically changed recently, the only "ads" that air between music video segments are VH-1-programming related (same goes for VH-1 Country). I was out of town for a few days, so it's been a little while since I've watched it, but as far as I know VH-1 Classic isn't airing actual commercials yet.
Doug -- who does have Comcast (I think it's now the fourth name of my cable operator)

VH1 Classic doesn't have commercials as yet, but they have started adding the occasional early 90s video, sort of defeating the purpose of Classic.

Maybe if you go to the G4TV.com board and run into Top Starcader, you could ask him. He is in reality "Starcade" producer James Caruso. I'd bet he would want to hear that idea.

I'm also a frequent VH1C watcher, and I've noticed quite a number of 90's videos, usually in the Request Hour. [although the video for Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" has been on the network for a while now] Some folks like the fact they're adding 90's videos, while some don't. Me....it doesn't matter much to me, just as long as they don't go past '95-'96.
>> I used to love watching the channel [Noggin] since they reran old episodes of Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact, Square One, and a jewel I got to know called Electric Company.
Oh, yeah, I watched that too. Can't forget Bill Nye, as well!

Already did. I posted the idea and gave the reasons why it would be a good move [wider availability, fitting the network, etc.]
Who knows? Maybe, if we're lucky, by the fall we'll be talking about Starcade reruns on GSN. I certainly hope that happens.

Allow them to play more recent videos if its from an artist who first hit in the 80s. VH1 Classic can be an outlet for videos from older artists MTV or the regular VH1 won't play(when said channels DO decide to play videos)
