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
