You're missing the point. MTV and BET are still cool, CBS is not and never was and never will be cool.

Obviously CBS get's more views because it's a major network, and you don't need to pay for cable to see it. That doesn't mean it's more popular or relevant though.

MTV is "cool" for preteens who try to be cool and that's about it. At the end of the day, people brush it off as a joke, especially because "music television" doesn't focus on music at all. And BET... I'm not even going to get into BET, but that channel is completely irrelevant.

And that second part makes no sense. MTV/BET get less viewers, yet they're more popular? That's contradictory.
