Its irrelevant. The point is that "the scene" is anything but objective, and entirely dependent upon who you talk to. I'm not part of the "scene" Eminem is supposedly rocking, so he is utterly irrelevant to me. Much like MTV, radio is a less than ideal medium for classical music listening.

I'd also like to know why there isn't a "symbphonyMTV" station?

The point of most classical music is to create a soundscape from which extraneous visual stimulation could only detract. MTV is a short attention span format created to cater to the short attention span scene.
Classical music has its own scene, and its superstars are just as fawned over and wealthy as their rap/rock counterparts.
