Ozzy and family rock networks
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — One man symbolizes the divergent fortunes of MTV and VH1: Ozzy Osbourne.
The Osbournes seemed like a risk on its face. It created its own genre — a show structured like a sitcom but featuring real people. And could America grow to love a family with a largely washed-up rock star, his manager wife and two high-struggle children?
MTV has him, and the reality sitcom starring the frazzled heavy-metal legend and his family has become the kind of watercooler hit cable executives only dream of. The Osbournes has helped MTV build the biggest audience in its history.
The Osbournes drew 4.1 million viewers to its regular Tuesday time slot on March 26. Strikling while it's hot, MTV now airs The Osbournes 15 times a week.
VH1 doesn't have him. It doesn't have much of anything else and that's reflected in sinking ratings.
"You have people in their 40s talking about MTV, which hasn't happened in a while," said Brad
Adgate, research director at Horizon Media.
"It has accelerated our development of reality shows," he said. "We've had a tougher time with more scripted material. I'm not sure our viewers expect that from MTV. They come to MTV for music and things that are a little fast-paced."
Horizon
For the first three months of this year, MTV averaged 541,000 viewers, up from 504,000 the same period last year. To be fair, its success is not all The Osbournes. The show Total Request Live is still a hit, Cribs, which gives celebrity home tours, does very well, and so does the dating show, Dismissed.
One could argue that The Osbournes would have been a better fit for VH1 than MTV. MTV's target audience wasn't born during Ozzy Osbourne's heyday with Black Sabbath. But it's a moot point. VH1 doesn't have him.
The Osbournes' success has the network considering a similar behind-the-scenes look at a rap star's life, Toffler said.

imitated, and the trashy Behind the Music melodramas about the rise and fall of rock stars did well
It's the show VH1 is most counting on to refresh its schedule and create a sensation. So far it hasn't happened; Late World averaged 129,000 viewers a night its first three weeks on the air.
Not many people do. He's the host of VH1's, Late World With Zach, that debuted March 4, the eve of The Osbournes premiere
VH1 averaged 198,000 viewers for the first three months of the year, down markedly from its 252,000 average a year earlier. according to Nielsen Media Research.
Know who Zach Galifianakis is?
Longtime VH1 chief executive John Sykes departed last month to take over Viacom's radio subsidiary. MTV's Judy McGraft was put in charge of VH1, and she's looking for someone to run the network on a day-to-day basis.
