Watch: The First Hour Of MTV For those watching in 1981, the launch of MTV must have seemed as epic as the rocket-ship visual it used as an opener. For those who don't remember (or didn't exist yet), the iconic moonman's first appearance was juxtaposed with footage of Apollo 11 taking off in the channels first minutes. Although the implications were massive (an entire channel dedicated to music??) and the first video to ever air (our favorite Trivial Pursuit questions: "Video Killed The Radio Star") seemed an ambitious mission statement, MTV did nail something unmistakably cool with its initial aesthetics and promises of all-day, all-night stereo music. Cool story, MTV. Although the nostalgia is overwhelming, it does make one wonder why a network so far off of its own proclaimed ideology is celebrating the birth of something it would later kill off. Check out the first hour of broadcasting, including some delightfully retro commercials.
