It appears yesterday's rampant reports of Total Request Live's death — including ours — were greatly exaggerated. At least according to MTV's denial:

"There is no truth to the rumors about TRL, MTV2 and VH1 Classic going away," states David Bittler, a spokesperson for MTV Networks. "Some of the staff have been let go from positions within those networks, but those networks will continue. And from the consumer's point of view, there will be no changes to the programming on those networks or on [TRL]."
