I stopped watching June 24, 1997 when they had their first gay kiss on tv. I had to look that up, but yeah, that’s when I stopped watching listening.

For 44 years, MTV has been a cultural juggernaut

That's being charitable. MTV was a cultural juggernaut for about 15 years then it gradually declined to irrelevance. Still, my friends and I watched it in the early 1980s as kids.

They still had a music channel?

Since like the late 1990s it has been smut and various left-wing political propaganda shows.

Their first video was “Video Killed the Radio Star”.

Once a music video powerhouse, it now leans heavily into reality programming

I guess they'll have to change their name to BSTV (if that isn't already taken).

Not at all. The radio star is still dead. Video is still around, it is just that YouTube, X, and TikTok have replaced cable television.

Modern music is pretty much dead so it has to be hard to come up with new content. Also MTV didn’t start the video revolution. We owe that to as show on regular TV called “Friday Night Video’s”.

Video may have killed the radio star but MTV committed suicide.
