On this day in 1981, at exactly 12:01 am, MTV made its broadcast debut with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll." The MTV concept launched a cultural revolution, and its unexpected success made Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson, and Martha Quinn overnight celebrities as the network's first VJ's. Stayed in it's original format for about 10 years before reality shows dominated it's programming and killed it for most.

@A-small-amount-of-peas Год назад

I'd like to agree but the reality is that reality shows saved it. Unfortunately the mainstream audience preferred reality nonsense over exciting new music videos as artists could release videos online directly without having to rely on MTV to play it. The world changed and because we live in a world that relies on capitalism then the old no matter how good it is for a generation of people is discarded with whatever appeals to the lowest common denominator and they love nothing more than sit there and judge people

I was 15 when MTV went live, and it came at exactly the right time. This was on constantly in our home, and I got to know the popular music (and some weirdness) of the day through it. I didn't know what it was called at the time, but I loved New Wave, Hair Metal, and a lot of other music. This was the soundtrack for my high school and college years. During the summer and weekends I would stay up late painting D&D miniatures with MTV always in the background. It's hard to overstate how much of an impact MTV had on me during my teenage years.

It came on at midnight in my time zone, was the only time my mom let me stay up that late. I thought it was a one time deal and the next day a new channel had been added to the few local channels we had (small town, no cable).
