MTV debuted just after midnight on August 1, 1981, with the broadcast of “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles. Following the format of Top 40 radio, video disc jockeys (or “veejays”) introduced videos and bantered about music news between clips. After an initial splash, the network struggled in its early years.
The Death of MTV occurred when they decided to put reality TV shows like the "Real World" on it, and decided that it was okay to play a lot of shows that didn't cater to the meaning of MTV itself. The meaning of MTV is Music Television.
