Fandemonium 2004
Fandemonium was a reality-TV style program created and aired on a music video TV channel MuchMusic. It was hosted by one of the MuchMusic VJs, either George Stroumboulopoulos and Amanda Walsh. The TV program concept is that two fans of a music artist celebrity that claim they are the celebrity's biggest fan, have to compete in a series of tasks in an obstacle course which only one will win in order to prove that they really are the celebrity's number one fan. In the conclusion of the program, the winner has the choice of selecting 2 boxes, only one of which contains a trip and various prizes, or walking away with an electronic system without having to make any choice. Only one episode of the program featured a guest appearance by the actual music celebrities of the contestants dreams - Sum 41. In a surprise twist, the band members of Sum 41 appeared halfway through the show for a paintball competition with the two contestants, and hung around providing commentary and support for the two challengers for the rest of the episode.

The MuchMusic Video Awards are annual awards presented by the Canadian music video channel MuchMusic to honour the year's best music videos.

There are no hosts or announcers in the traditional awards-show fashion; instead, the MuchMusic VJs are an integral part of the festivities, introducing the awards' presenters and winners throughout the show. As with many modern awards shows, many presenters and performers may have little or no connection to the music industry or that year's nominees. For each year's MMVAs viewers are encouraged to visit the website to vote for People's Choice Awards for both an International Group and Artist as well as a Canadian Group and Artist.

We're Experiencing Technical Difficulties Release date not available
We're Experiencing Technical Difficulties is a show that was produced and broadcast by MuchMusic. The show featured a mix of comedy, animation, sketches and fake interviews derived from pop culture. Each episode was about 12 minutes long, but MuchMusic aired about 2 episodes per half hour. WETD also made fun of celebrities, censors words in videos/interviews that shouldn't be and jokes about sexual content. There were also fake Much program promotions, such as "Wake Up Much", a "live" morning show with a relatively sleepy host. The show had a connection with Video on Trial, because it got mentioned on one of the episodes on Video on Trial. Both programs were vaguely similar in terms of its highly sarcastic tone and style. It first aired in September 2008 as a replacement for Stars Gone Wild after it was cancelled, but WETD also fared poorly in the ratings with a lot of negative audience reaction voiced on the MuchMusic message boards.
