MTV's first day of broadcast, 1981🎬 Could you believe this was over 40 years ago? You may not remember how big of a change this was at the time for how music moved through culture. It's especially weird looking back on this now, with how rapidly everything has been changing over the last few years in how we consume media. Could you name the first track they played on this first broadcast without looking it up? Very iconic #mtv #mtv90s #mtvclassic #mtvthrowback #musicvideos #musictelevision #90s

Part 2: These were the second 5 videos played on MTV's debut day, August 1, 1981. Due to MTV being a brand new cable network, the first day featured numerous errors including playing clips at the wrong times, moments of dead air, videos that would not play correctly and other technical difficulties. #80s #throwbacksongs #throwback #genx #millennial #nostalgia #mtv
