MTV
MTV (Music Television) is an American cable television network launched in 1981 that revolutionised the music industry by making music videos a central part of popular culture.
Beginning with the broadcast of The Buggles’ ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ as its first music video, MTV became a defining force in promoting artists, shaping fashion and youth culture, and transforming how music was marketed. During its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, the channel helped launch the careers of artists including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, Britney Spears and Eminem.
Over time, MTV expanded beyond music programming into reality television, documentaries, award shows and original series, with flagship events such as the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) remaining major fixtures of the entertainment calendar.
