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
