Live TV ain't easy. Reading between the lines of the review, it seems the
crew and on air talent didn't do enough prep work, especially how to cover
control room mistakes.

And it still doesn't answer the question: why bring back TRL? MTV's target
audience is 12-24 so there's no nostalgia factor there. And a 12-24
audience would not be that concerned with Tom Petty. I don't get the idea
that TRL flubbed by not making announcements about him.
