I’m old enough to remember when MTV played music and the Comedy Channel was funny.
And when the President of MTV wasn’t also President of an “all gay” network.
Video killed the radio star and MTV killed the music industry.
There is still music but the industry has collapsed, today MTV sells “celebrity”.
I remember when MTV was a music video channel and VH1 was non-existant. As MTV segued into more original programming, I remember when VH1 became the channel to watch music videos. Then it was VH1-Classic to watch videos. Now VH-1 is a reality TV channel and VH-1 Classic is little more than reruns of Uncle Buck.
MTV stopped being relevant the moment they stopped the music.
