On August 1, 1981, at 12:01 AM, pop culture was changed forever by a new cable network that introduced a brand new idea -- a TV channel that played [[Music Video Tropes|music videos]], 24/7. That network was MTV. Fittingly, the first video they ever showed was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
Fortunately, a ray of hope may be shining onto the fallen network, as they're not only bringing back ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' after nearly thirteen years, but the duo's music video commentary (one of the show's staples from the very beginning) would still stick around. In fact, [http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/they_re_back_PZVN8lcKHQYVIYx3xAJRtM?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME= according to the New York Post], the freshly [[Uncancelled]] show "will be a backdoor means for MTV to return to showing music videos". [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]. A few months later in July 2011, ''120 Minutes'' returned on [[MTV 2]] with Matt Pinfield (the host of the program during the mid 90's) back as host, regular music performances and a focus on current indie rock artists. In addition, at least in the UK, MTV have a new channel specifically geared towards music. The name? [[Department of Redundancy Department|MTV Music]].
