Secret Tribute Shows

Why aren't things like the 2009 MusicCares tribute to Neil Diamond broadcast? Do you remember when the Songwriters Hall of Fame awards were on Bravo? Why aren't all of these special tributes that the music biz does all year long available on TV or online? This is 2009, where every little musical thing is instantly got, so why wouldn't the music industry put these types of tributes out there for the public to watch? Or maybe there's no audience for these types of things. The 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has gone from VH1 to VH1 Classic to Fuse. Has viewership for it been so bad for VH1 that they'd rather show reruns of one of their 100 Greatest shows.
Still, there has to be an outlet for these types of shows. Come on, Tim McGraw covering "Hello Again", the Jonas Brothers doing "Forever in Blue Jeans". Who wouldn't want to see that?
