Adam Curry on the VMAs: "The way it works is simple: The record label commits to getting a big name star to present or perform on the show and in return the channel will support an up and coming band or artist. usually in the late-nite slots. If I recall correcty, this is exactly what the 'Buzz Bin' was for."
