Ask The Audience

Continuing on with our discussion about the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA), we will be looking to interview and poll the audience of all past VMAs to help us discover what makes an entertaining award show. What were their favorite parts of the show, what do they look forward to, etc.

What are the best ways to find our sample?

We can look to what is known as cluster sampling to find viewers of the video music awards over the past 26 years. Like any network and television show, MTV has a certain demographic they reach out to. There are probably files complied of the names of people who were once or are now in their target demographic. We would use these files to create our list for the cluster sampling, separate the list of names by state, then contact every 10th person on each list.

Hopefully, we would be able to reach those who had watched the VMAs when they first aired in 1984! The goal is to find out what viewers liked or did not like to eventually create an ideal, entertaining VMA show!

Starting now and continuing every week I will be posting my favorite MTV VMA performances, this week is Britney Spears and her performance of "Oops I Did It Again" in 2000. What are some of your favorite performances?
