music video?

Question

When was the first music video ever made?

Answer 1

Whether you love it or hate it, MTV has made significant impacts on both music and music video. So how did MTV choose to start off this fledgling cable channel? When it raised it's head in the early 80's, there would have been some discussion over which music video should mark the music channel's debute. However, any argument would probably have been short-lived, as the final choice is one that few people would find hard to beat.

MTV started in the US and then various other localised versions started to appear around the world (so technically the answer may be different for each network, but this is a question of the first ever song played). If you thought it was Dire Straits, then you will need to guess again.


"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits was inspired well after MTV's launch when Mark Knopfler apparently overheard a conversation in an electronics store. The salesman was complaining about how tough life was selling TVs - he was reported to have said words to the effect of "that's the way you do it. You get your money for nothing and your chicks for free." The original comment was probably a little more hard core, but it is unlikely that many radio or video stations would have played a song "get you f***ing money for nothing and your f***ing chicks for f***ing free". In the 90s, it probably would not have been a problem. However, when MTV Europe launched, it did play Money For Nothin as its first song.

And the winner is...
Despite being a few years old at the time, Video Killed The Radio Star, by the Buggles, was the first song ever played by MTV. The irony of this choice escaped few people, but rather than kill radio, MTV and other music channels have helped boost its popularity while increasing music sales and developing a new form of entertainment. Unfortunately, it also made producing music far more expensive - culminating in the very bland bland music of recent years. It is also interesting that one the of biggest criticisms levelled at MTV now is that it doesn't play enough music video and it has become more of a mainstream music lifestyle channel. From most reports this is occuring with all the MTV networks.

Ha ! I know that no one will be able to answer this Q cuz there were TONS of vids being made all @ once. Same w/ CDs & DVDs. They were all being made @ the same time & not necessarily "the first one to ever be made was...." Someone got best answer just cuz they made it sound right. They said, "glad I could help." The person who asked what the first cd ever made was believed that it was true !!! When new technology comes out, there isn't one thing that's made & then all the rest follow... Like, why would they make cd players if there was only 1 cd out ? Pretty dumb if you ask me.

But, to help you w/ your Q, I believe that the first vids were made back in 1982. I believe that was the yr that MTV was born. Early 80's anywayz. :)

Aug 1st, 1981 MTV was on the air. (I know it doesn't answer your Q really but it's the closest I can come to your Q I think.

umm... 'scuse me michael but how could I be "cheating" if they ask for sources on here ? YAs wants peeps to know where they got their info... so that the asker will know more bout if it's reliable or not. If anyone's "cheating" look below you. She didn't even take out da "edit" things in her "answer" :s Sorry girlie but I think that that A is waaaaaaaay too long to read !!!! If anyone wants to read that, they can just go to wikipedia & look up MTV :)

Oh yeah, & just cuz a vid was shown FIRST on MTV EVER... That doesn't mean that it was da first vid to ever be MADE !!!! They just chose a vid & kept adding more vids after it.

MTV (Music Television) is a cable television network headquartered in New York City. Originally devoted to music videos, especially popular music videos, MTV has since opted to show less music oriented programming, and has became an outlet for a variety of different television shows aimed at adolescents and young adults.

Broadcast began on August 1, 1981 as an operation of Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company, a joint venture of Warner Communications and American Express known as WASEC.

In 1984, Warner and Amex attempted to take some cash out of their WASEC investment. The companies divested WASEC and it was renamed MTV Networks Inc. The parent companies registered for a stock IPO, which eventually went public at $15.00 per share. A year later, MTV saw the introduction of a sister channel, VH-1, short for Video Hits One. In 1986, MTV Networks Inc. was acquired by Viacom Inc., and was renamed MTV Networks, still a division of Viacom today. By 1987, Viacom itself was the target of a successful hostile takeover by National Amusements.
