The Music in Me

When Music Hit the Screen: The History of MTV

Season 3 Episode 97

In this episode of The Music in Me, I’m taking you on a nostalgic, hilarious, and totally entertaining journey through the history of MTV — the channel that changed music forever. From the very first rocket launch and “Video Killed the Radio Star,” to the golden age of iconic music videos, to the reality-TV takeover that none of us were ready for but all of us watched anyway… we’re covering it all. I share my own memories of growing up glued to MTV for the newest videos (and, later, the wild drama of The Real World), while breaking down how the channel shaped music, culture, fashion, and pop history as we know it. If you’ve ever danced in your bedroom, waited hours for your favorite video, or gotten way too invested in an MTV reality show — this episode is for you.
