It's ominous how their FIRST song that they played 'Video Killed The Radio Star' was the one they chose back then. MTV did NOT want to get canceled as a Channel- UA-cam would of KILLED THAT CABLE STAR. IF you've even seen ONE VIDEO from UA-cam, you're already not caring about how MTV once was. EVERYONE goes to this site now. Their extreme amount of "'Reality' 'TV' 'programs'" being on is the REAL problem as anyone with a modern brain should be fighting against.
I'm watching MTV from '94 right now! My recorded VHS from that time. The only period when I was watching MTV is 1993-1995 I'll try to make a rip for you
Wow you can even tell from the bumpers from 1981-1991 that MTV made a complete change from being primarily a rock and roll music video channel Side note For MTV to be the only channel to show music videos 24/7 ( at the time ) they did a poor job representing other gernes of music like pop or even (the dreaded) rap/hip-hop Maybe MTV realized this and in 1985 created Vh1 to represent other music gernes not just rock and roll
@One Simple Access it isn’t, it’s a creator submitted ident to the network which was popular for their international bumpers around that time, different idents would credit their creator.

The 1990s is when MTV introduced their brand of reality TV. First came 'The Real World' (1992), then 'Road Rules' (1995), then all of a sudden every network wanted their own reality show and to mimic what MTV did. Reality TV pretty much destroyed a whole lot of TV channels, from The Learning Channel to Discovery to Lifetime to Bravo, and they've all but completely abandoned what their channel used to specialize in. MTV's latest rival, Fuse, has pretty much done away with their entire slate of music programs and is now televising mostly classic TV shows. Reality TV killed the soap star; and now there are only 4 soaps on network TV. Surely enough, something's going to give, and it will kill reality TV. Better sooner than later.
Remember when MTV used to air music? Me too.

Even though MTV doesn't really air music videos much anymore, I still love its idents, even the current ones!
My fave one is from 1991. How I remember that one well! The year I turned 12 and just getting into music and catching the end of the glam metal era.
I remember MTV back in the early days when they broadcast rock music videos.....those days are long gone, too bad.
Feral Cats, STOP WEEPING OF MTV AND GET MTV CLASSIC!
MTV Classic is bad, It doesn't even broadcast any Rock Music Video's.
I agree Feral Cat
and it's locked for most subscribers
And Micheal Jackson when he broke the color barrier
It went from "what the heck" to "WHAT THE HECK!"
You can clearly see the transition from good to bad throughout the years
I wish I was born in the 90s for this I watch old mtv on yt
That original 1980 logo looks too "Mickey Mouse" (the hand). Love the revised logo which still exists today 39 years later!
The Original theme from 1981 was done by Future members of Throbbing Gristle,then known as Nuttin' Muffin.
It seems to me that earlier in 1980, not only intros but also tracks were used, in 1981 MTV intros are already here
FINALLY, You are back :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
who’s back?
There must be the complete history of MTV bumpers all from launch to the 1990s to the early 2000s and from 2009 to 2011 and from 2011-2013/2013-2015.
I'm watching MTV from '94 right now!
My recorded VHS from that time.
The only period when I was watching MTV is 1993-1995
I'll try to make a rip for you
They left out the MTV Station ID from either 1987 or 1988 which featured a first-person animated perspective of a roller coaster.
The 2009 - 2016 idents of MTV belongs to the intertnational versions of MTV, not the US editions.
"' 'MTV EUROPE MUSIC TELEVISION'' THE BEST CHANNEL IN MUSIC, BUT ONLY WITH 24 HOURS MUSIC.
I need the 2010 ID theme

2:51 beautiful Ident❤❤
Much aesthetic
MTV formed a alliance with other companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, THQ, Disney Interactive and Electronic Arts
Wow you can even tell from the bumpers from 1981-1991 that MTV made a complete change from being primarily a rock and roll music video channel
Side note
For MTV to be the only channel to show music videos 24/7 ( at the time ) they did a poor job representing other gernes of music like pop or even (the dreaded) rap/hip-hop Maybe MTV realized this and in 1985 created Vh1 to represent other music gernes not just rock and roll
You should have played these in their entirety.
I don't remember mtv that much as
A little girl, I was wrong born in wrong generation, I do remember them playing some 80s music video.
omg, at 2:16 in this MTV screensaver, the sound is so-so but a little strange
Once in russia was mtv but closed (Works only for a fee now. 1999-2013 remember, we love, we mourn.
