History

MTV was founded on August 1, 1981, and soon became a part of MTV Networks. At its conception "MTV" stood for "Music Television" as the channel was designed to show music videos, but the content has shifted over time toward a youth lifestyle channel featuring numerous reality shows.

At its inception, MTV only had eighty-five music videos to show. Fifteen of them were by Rod Stewart.(source: VH1 Classic) The first music video shown on MTV was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles.
