Episode Synopsis
Send us a textMTV didn’t just play music videos—it invented pop culture. From “Video Killed the Radio Star” to “The Real World,” we look back at the rise and inevitable collapse of MTV as YouTube and reality TV took over. In this episode of Free Nights and Weekends, Marc Boucher joins as we revisit the VJs, the early days, and the moment the music died—again.*Update: a quick Google search tells me that I was spectacularly wrong about how long Peter Gabriel‘s Sledgehammer video took to produce.
