Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine
, you'll find (among other
things):

MTV
Their early innocent years
"Few people realize it now, but when MTV started, it presented content
that was pretty much family-friendly. Yet within two years, the
channel began to realize outrageousness was what really grabbed the
attention of the public, and that changed not only the musical
landscape, but the cultural one too. MTV's "age of innocence" is not
something the channel likes to publicize, as evidenced by the fact
that it totally ignored its 25th anniversary this past August 1."

We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if
you have anything to share.

See you online,
Jason

One reason they don't like to publicize those early years is because
they were run by racists that would only air music videos by white
people. Their "family-friendly" programming was aimed at middle
American, suburban whites which meant no black or hispanic music.
