Just like MTV doesn't mean Music TV anymore.

As a joke I'd say, Open means "open your wallets"

Or TLC as the learning channel or History channel (assuming these still exist).

There are also lots of "Open Government" initiatives that end up being about making everything as opaque and confusing as possible. There were (are?) popular in the "big data" era, though funnily enough, if you watch "Yes Minister!" from ~40 years ago, there is a similar gag about "open government" in the first few episodes, so it's not new.

See of course Orwell, "we care about your privacy" banners, etc. People like to lie as blatantly as possible.

Didn't know it was "Music TV", made me think about Skyrock... the biggest Rap channel in France, and essentially no Rock there.
