Wasn't it TV kill the Radio? Video Kill the Radio Star
***Let's take a trip through time, back to the days when MTV actually played music videos all day and night. It seems like so long ago -- the year 1981 -- when the groundbreaking channel first launched. At midnight on August 1, 1981, cable upstart MTV made its first broadcast with "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the British band, The Buggles. But what came next? We put on our skinny ties and Ray-Ban sunglasses and paid a visit to Yahoo!'s 1980s Pop Culture category to find your answer.
Deep within the Eighties Club, we read about MTV's rocky start. After the Buggles, the channel aired five spots introducing MTV's veejays (the spots were played in the wrong order). Then the next music video was broadcast -- the tune was "You Better Run" by Pat Benatar. Some fumbling and dead air followed these first two videos, as engineers and veejays scrambled to play videos in the right order. Eventually, the MTV team got their act together and became one of the decade's biggest influences on popular music.***
