MasterG2kTR -> 30 Years Ago Today (8/1/2011 8:36:31 AM)
Aug 1 1981Cable music network MTV launches, by airing "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles, followed by Pat Benatar's "You Better Run." That's right, kids: once upon a time, MTV actually played music videos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The last line brings forth the question....why do they still call it MTV when it has nothing to do with music anymore?

Charnegui -> RE: 30 Years Ago Today (8/1/2011 8:50:21 AM)
I do not have the faintest idea, for I hardly ever watched MTV and nowadays never watch it! The only thing I know, is that we have a VJ (Adam Curry) whom became famous by MTV. So, MTV doesn't air musicvid's anymore?

GreedyTop -> RE: 30 Years Ago Today (8/1/2011 9:04:02 AM)
wow.. I used to have the hots for Adam curry! Last time I checked MTV, it was all 'reality' shows with some tenuous connection to music.
