That first broadcast day of MTV

[baboles]

VH1 Classic aired the first 24hours of MTV a while back. I sat down and watched it! I really wish they would bring back the good MTV and just play older videos. VH1 Classic is starting to suck big time! They are playing all that reality crap too! I wish they would bring back the All Request Hour. It was fun tuning into that show to see if they picked your video you wanted to have played. But oh well.

And somehow their marketing people have numbers that prove that reality (to me, scripted reality) programming draws in the biggest viewers. It just boggles the mind that these phony shows are the hallmark feature now on 'music television'.
