@Ghostrunner66 That’s where I first heard Voivod’s cover of Astronomy Domini…a song I still have in my play list, and so many more.

I remember the day it aired for the first time and the first video ever played there.

@Justmeraeagain I know. And I also remember TLC before reality shows flooded it.

@Pinkstarburst
I remember a History channel that actually had history programs on it

@Justmeraeagain Their indoctrination was sure to include the lesson on wiping out history because it didn't jazz with their plan to re-write history to their liking.

Many of the original videos that appeared on MTV are on youtube. Maybe the bands retained them them. They were playing music videos 24/7 so I'm sure some were erased.

Americans in general are very cavalier about these things...when Sony took over Columbia Pictures they scoured the world to restore Lost Horizon(1937) to get one good print..they realized its value

@bookerdana I collect movies and put them on DVD disc. I know its an antiquated way of doing things these days but I don't trust digital. And I sure don't trust companies like Disney to preserve an original copy of anything. I want an uncensored, unedited copy as the artist intended. The amount of censorship happening in this world should be scaring the Hell out of people

I sure hope not. I think this generation is so reckless

@Ghostrunner66 I absolutely hate most TV nowadays.
Been watching old deep space nine and Star Trek the next generation reruns lately

It was MTV News archives. The parent company (Paramount) is trying to cut costs. I don't care, because I own a lot of their stock and I want to see it go up. But I fail to see how this does anything.
All they erased were their news archives, from the Internet

I never once visited their news site, which was begun in 1996. I suspect not many other people did either.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2024/06/26/mtv-news-archives-deleted/74225789007/

I don't even read music news anywhere else either. For example, on Google News, I have the entertainment section completely hidden because I don't care about entertainment news.


And as far as actual music videos go, I just go to YouTube for these. I don't have to turn on a tv and just hope that a video I want to see might roll around in the next hour or so. Just as with CD's versus cassettes, random access is much better than sequential access.
