MTV - recorded broadcast (The first 12 minutes of its debut in 1981!)
August 1, 1981 At midnight. MTV debuted their first broadcast. This is the first 12 minutes of that very first broadcast that made TV and Music history including the promos and commercials with the first 2 music videos that they played. “Video Killed the Radio Star” and "You Better Run" by Pat Benatar. Hope you enjoy. Wish I had more ...

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
