Hey you! Don't touch that, watch this! One of the first promos for MTV Music Television, in stereo! You'll never look at music the same way again! This is when MTV was only videos and none of that reality show crap!

@MARAXXUS13579 NO JOKE! VH1 Classic and VH1 are part of MTV's (Viacom) group, MTV Networks. Which is why they did that.

It is true that Mtv was 24 hours a day, 7 days a week....but, there is no one in existence that has seen every second of classic Mtv. So, they need to start a true Classic Mtv channel, that shows the first 5 years of Mtv, exactly as it first was shown, what each VJ said, and every video is chronological order, and then after the 5 years are up, restart it again, so we can finally see every second of Classic Mtv.
