August 1, 1981 at 12:01AM, the new cable channel called MTV first aired with the very first music video titled "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles kicked off the music revolution. What I remember about the channel is that not only they played all different styles of music by the time I was born from Billy Idol, Duran Duran Eurythmics and Culture Club to The Stones, Robert Plant, ZZ Top and Van Halen to Prince, Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock and Tina Turner but also my other family aka the original VJs (Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman and the late JJ Jackson) and the animated station idents (my favs are the Altered States parody, the Dot to Dot, the Operation and the many M's). What are your MTV memories? Happy 37th birthday MTV! Hope you will be Music Television again. #happybirthdaymtv #iwantmymtv #iwantmymtvback #musictelevisionmtv #childhoodmemories #80sbaby #1980s #mtv #alanhunter #marthaquinn #ninablackwood #markgoodman #jjjackson #thebuggles (at Homestead, Pennsylvania)
