The Quarantine Stream: Pluto TV Is A Fantastic, Free Substitute For Cable And Streaming By Ethan Anderton/May 13, 2021 7:00 am EST But one of the features of Pluto TV that I’m digging the most are music video channels that will make you remember the days when MTV actually stood for Music Television.
