MTV Debut Events

Posted on 06:37 by Unknown
 MTV debuts Aug. 1,1981 with a clip of the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star."

Michael Jackson's "Beat It" has a world premiere in March, the channel's first clip by an African-American artist. In December, Jackson debuts the 14-minute "Thriller" film. "The Basement Tapes," a weekly video contest for unsigned bands, bows and bestows a $100,000 EMI recording contract on the first victor, a Seattle rock quartet called Rail.



"Dial MTV," the first viewer request show, debuts. "Downtown" Julie Brown joins the VJ ranks. MTV airs the anti-drug "Just Say No" spots created by the Department of Health and Human Services. By year's end, the channel initiates its own public service campaign, "Rock Against Drugs," the first of many efforts to engage viewers with social programming.


Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video premieres on the channel. "MTV Rockumentary" debuts. The Ace Award-winning series from MTV News profiles R.E.M., Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, Madonna, the B-52's, Bruce Springsteen and others.

MTV Europe arrives in Israel, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Kenya. MTV Brasil launches a 24-hour Portuguese-language network spotlighting music videos by Brazilian and international artists.

MTV launches a global on-air AIDS awareness campaign with "Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself."


The third season of "The Real World" features an openly gay cast member, Pedro Zamora, publicly coping with HIV. Soon after the season ends, Zamora succumbs to the disease. Fans turn to MTV as they mourn the death of Kurt Cobain. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley lock lips at the MTV Music Video Awards. Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant reunite for "Unledded," while "The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over" reunites band members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Don Felder, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. Tom Jones hosts the inaugural MTV European Music Awards live from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

"The Real World" relocates to London. MTV Books kicks off with the best-selling "Real Real World" and "MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head: This Book Sucks." The arrival of MTV.com brings the channel into the digital era.


MTV moves its studio to Times Square and launches "MTV Live," the daily predecessor to "Total Request Live" (aka "TRL"). Animated sitcom "Daria" debuts as does "Headbanger's Ball." Internationally, MTV expands with local programming into the United Kingdom and Ireland, Nordic territories, Italy, Germany and Australia. "Live From the 10 Spot" premieres with the Rolling Stones.

"TRL" mania rules. The show, hosted by Carson Daly, mixes a live audience with viewer-on-the-street interviews and Web comments. "TRL" fans of the Backstreet Boys overrun Times Square outside the MTV studios during an appearance by the teen-pop superstars.


Britney Spears is a teen queen no longer after a saucy performance of "Oops . . . I Did It Again" on the Video Music Awards. "Jackass" debuts, a weekly comedy show devoted to ridiculous pranks and outrageous stunts performed by stars Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera.
