The first broadcast of MTV on August 1, 1981. Sad to see all of the MTV music channels go off the air! Myself, like everybody else that grew up in the 1980s and 90s watched all the music videos that were on MTV! Although the main MTV channel is still in the air. It only airs reality shows now! It really is the end of an era! Reality TV killed the Music Video Star I guess☹️ #mtv #musicvideos #thisistheend #fyp #tiktok

Dedicated To History on Instagram: "When MTV launched in 1981, it opened with a message. The very first music video the channel ever aired was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles — a song about technology changing the way we experience music. It wasn’t random. Music was about to become visual, and MTV was leading the shift. More than four decades later, MTV closed its broadcast history by playing that same track one final time. Not as nostalgia — but as acknowledgment. The song faded out.
