This is nothing
So watching the season premiere of a TV show featuring a snappy song is a marketing opportunity?
Meh.
Try watching VH-1's I Love the 80's (or I Love the 70's, too. I'd forgotten how good Earth, Wind and Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" was before I watched that show), with a laptop, WiFi, and the iTunes Music Store.
The perfect storm of marketing and opportunity. I would watch a segment on, say, Dexy's Midnight Runners, then find myself on iTunes, buying their music.
Now there's an uptapped marketing opportunity. Viacom is too busy trying to re-invent iTunes by selling music online themselves, they're missing a lot of great co-branding opportunities. What about VJ iMixes? I Love The *0's iMixes? Whole areas dedicated to MTV, much like Disney has its own iTunes category?
But considering how VH-1 has morphed itself into E! (and E! has morphed itself into oblivion), and how MTV is now The Young Adult Reality Show Channel, I'm not holding my breath.
