That's not a flop for the network either way. They aren't paying those hosts Millions of Dollars. Regardless it's a step in the right direction for content at MUSIC TELEVISION and as it continues to grow it will give artists another regular platform to grow their music and reach their audience. The ratings aren't gonna match the shows peak in the beginning of its reboot nor would it be expected as music is consumed complexity differently. People will stream the performances online just like with Awards Shows and it will grow and be just fine.
