I found this a while ago. It's a montage of early MTV promo spots (we're talking early 1980s here, when MTV meant Music Television).

  • I don't know anybody who says ANYTHING good about MTV today. I wonder how they stay in business.

  • MTV is pretty much shit these days, but then again so is music in general.

  • Music was good, commercials sucked...

    Ironic isn't it ?

  • internet kill the music commercial

  • @pazzensutra Commercial sponsors, that's how. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, commercial radio stations quit playing cool rock artists, and focused more on adult contemporary artists, (Like Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Debby Boone, Carlie Simon, etc.) Why? because some "expert" told them that if they dropped the cool music and play more adult contemporary, they will get more advertisers. Then MTV came along and blew them away. Now look what's happened to MTV.

  • I want the idiots, who turned MTV into the crap that it is now, to resign! I want all those shows like Teen Mom and Jersey Shore off the air! I want the music videos and animation to return! (New Beavis and Butt-head, Good Vibe, you both can stay.)

  • I want my mtv BACK!

  • I gave up mtv decades ago. It was good once, in the 80's. But now its just a continual soundbyte, a cheap commercial 24 hours a day. I'll stick to new music by word of mouth from now on.

  • mtv sucks balls today. so does today's music also.

  • Love the promo at 2:00 min mark....watch the ticker at the top of the screen..."not available in Saskatchewan".....as a Canadian we always thought that was totally cool!! That big old MTV from the USA would recognize Saskatchewan. Anyway, this was real MTV!!!!

  • @boyrick84 m t.v. is not music chanel anymore.!!! its stupid stuff.

  • @boyrick84 I disagree.... MTV started sucking big time by 1988 with Paula Abdul and all that dance bullshit..... just my opinion
