The beginning of MTV. Never saw it then, but I have seen it later on, until it just went downhill. Who else saw this? Was available in the clear on C-Band till 1990 or so. The music was incredible compared to some of it now.

Wow! Amazing find here. Fairly good quality given its age as well.

Went from Video Killed The Radio Star to MTV Killed The Video.

Hmmm I missed the begining but I remember it was still pretty good in the 90's when I got into music. I remember, (as a 12 year old), Bevis and Buthead was the best thing on TV, along with the Simpsons. Although I suppose that cartoon was the start of the downfall.

I found a way to wire my moms old school getoblaster up to our TV and record onto mix tapes... I remember I liked watching those "popup videos" for the neat info but being pissed at the "popup" bubble sound was always in my tapes!

RIP, MTV!

Was that MTV, though, or Much Music. I think in the 90s, unless you were a pioneer in grey box stuff, we only got Much Music in Canada (at least in Ontario where I am.) Much Music picked up Beavis and Butthead, and the Pop Up Video was actually from VH 1 not MTV.

Yep my dad had one of those big 20ft motorized dishes stuck right in the middle of moms garden. I remember programing all the satellite positions for my dad, even at 12 I was way more into technology stuff than him.
