MTV News Shutting Down After 36 Years- Pour One Out Gen Xers

For the Gen Xers here, MTV was a staple of our diet. It was always on in the background. Like many great institutions, it drifted from what originally made it great. Reality TV shows started there with the Real World and MTV slowly shifted from anything to do with music.
MTV news w/ Kurt Loder was as close to the news as teenagers got. It's finally over.
MTV News to Shutdown
Side note-
If someone was to hit play on May 9, 1983's MTV programming and just stream commercials and all from 40 years ago, people would watch. 24 hrs a day, just from 40 years ago. I'd totally have that on in the background.

MTV News with Kurt Loder was GOAT

MTV has been dead since the late 90s.

MTV news is where I heard Kurt Cobain, Phil Hartman, 2Pac, and Biggie died

Yesterday Sum 41 announced their break up and now this!
What's next? Sugar Ray is going to change their name to Sugar Gay?

Looks like they’ll have to learn to install microwave ovens and make custom kitchen deliveries

It happened prior to internet streaming.
But I do contend that folks would watch the 40 year old programming of OG MTV today. With vintage commercials.

I remember watching the first video ever played. Video Killed The Radio Star

MTV changed music forever with the idea of the music video. I’m just gonna say ONE name. Micheal Jackson. Would he have ended up as popular as he came to be without the music videos.

Michael was already popular when MTV started. They just helped him become the King of Pop and arguably the greatest entertainer in history.
