How come you don’t talk about the challenge a big part of mtv in the 2000’s ?

This same thing happened to all of the themed channels of the 90s. Mtv didn't have music, the History Channel became aliens and religion, Animal Planet was shows about people, The Learning Channel became content nobody could learn anything from. The Sci Fi Channel literally changed their name to SyFy so people wouldn't expect science fiction.

Not to sound too much like an English teacher. But Patrick I gotta say man in your recent videos you’re doing an amazing job of establishing a strong thesis, backing it up and then tying it all together with a strong conclusion. So many KZreadrs who do similar “mini-doc” style videos just feel like they are reading off a wiki article or a list of facts and the end of their videos leave you feeling incomplete. But you genuinely establish a narrative and make it engaging. Keep it up dude!

There was really nothing strange about it. The publishing companies are the ones who killed MTV. They seized the opportunity, afforded by MTV's huge success, to start increasing the publishing/rebroadcasting fees to the point that it was costing MTV more money than it was worth. Desperate for something to fill the void, MTV realized there was a huge market for reality television that they should try and tap into. Once "The Real World" took off in 1992 they discovered that there was more money in reality shows than music videos.

I was on MTV as Andy dicks side kick in the short lived Andy dicks apprentice in 2005 in 1999 I pitched a tv pilot about my life as a boy in Saginaw Michigan " the entire history of Lester clay. A few years later everybody hates Chris was based on my show pilot.i know tv and radio been my life since 1978. My.

An awesome era for music and entertainment that crossed a massive technological threshold in just a few years.

But I remember it with a tremendous amount of nostalgia and feel extremely thankful I was there for it all.

I’m a year late but thank you for doing this. MTV was part of my landscape during my teen years. When I did homework the songs were playing in the background. I have eclectic tastes in music due in part to MTV. It’s sad that it’ll never be the same again…the whole thing…not just MTV but my teen years, my friends at the time the whole era. For me ‘81-‘85 was the best. My interest waned because I started working a lot and going to school and graduating high school in ‘86. I watched MTV sporadically in the ‘90’s but I was wrapping up college and adulting so to speak lol! So whether you watched it in ‘81, ‘91 or even ‘01 I’m sure you have memories of your “MTV”. One thing I know… I still want my MTV…because it’s more than just videos it was a part of my youth.

Remember putting the TV on MTV while doing house cleaning on Saturdays my parents hated it. It was basically my spotify playlist

Being a teen in NYC during the TRL era from 98 till 01 was pure magic. Mind you, this is in a pre-9/11 world, the vibe was pure freedom. My experiences and the people I met in Times Square are memories I will cherish forever. If I find that time machine I'm going back!!! 😝

I remember in 1988. I was eight years old Yo MTV RAPS premiered on MTV lasted for two hours crazy part about it. It came on at 2 AM so my brother asked my mom and dad can his friends stay over and watch Yo. We had so much fun that morning. It was mad crazy. My mom stayed up with all of us made breakfast and we were all just jamming to the videos. Man those were the days.

I was born in 99' so I never even remember a time when MTV was mostly playing music related content. I can remember the feeling of "I want an MTV that plays just music related content," and coming across MTV2 in the channel guide. I was super excited for a brief moment only to be crushed to learn you had to have one of the more expensive plans to get the channel. So yeah even if you knew about it, if you were financially struggling you were shit outta luck.

IMO, MTV couldn't sustain itself because the music industry became so ruthless, self-isolated, and commercialized that it no longer wanted the customer to be aware of what it does, and thus MTV no longer had an insider's look into the industry it claimed to be a part of. We no longer got the in depth analysis, interviews or saw any aspects of music production because the industry the channel was built around didn't want to be exposed for what it was doing and still does.

KZread is our MTV now. You have the music, and countless shows around music.

LOVE your channel!! Very informative 💡💓💡💓

This was really well made Patrick. Just discovered you. Keep up the good work dude.

I was born in 1990 and TRL was mandatory viewing for me as soon as it started, the height of boy bands and pop princesses, it was a little girl's dream. MTV formed my childhood and teen years, and I remember really wanting MTV 2, but our cable package didn't include it at the time, or else I definitely would've watched it too. The ending of this is so bleak, 24 hours of Ridiculousness even on the 40th anniversary of the network, damn. Thanks for a great documentary, it was exactly what I needed to watch today!

I actually loved MTV 2... I remember finding out about it the night before going to 6th grade. And pulled an all nighter watching music videos. It sorta became something I would do before going to the next grade. R.I.P MTV 🕊 Won't be missed but never forgotten. 🕺

Bro i'm addicted to your videos, you rock!

23:06 - Man, that's sad. I remember watching MTV's 10 year anniversary when I was in high school, and it was a weeks-long hoopla. It's sad to learn that their 40 year anniversary came and went without even a mention.

Damn, so much nostalgia in one video! Also incredible content Patrick!

I have such a clear memory of the 1st MTV awards, I was being babysat and Duran Duran came on. My Babysitter started Screaming, ran to get in front of the TV, lol like those old videos of the Beatles concerts. I joined her of course, screaming also even though I’m not sure I had any idea who Duran Duran were at that time. Lol. MTV used to be amazing.

I think one major contributing factor - having grown up with TRL, Celebrity Deathmatch, Pimp My Ride, Cribs etc - is that scores of the audience grow up and move on. Catfish and Teen Mom had the ability to appeal to their older audience and a new, younger audience, but MTV had to continually adjust to a new core audience given that as you say they had to resort to shows to prop up the niche nature of music videos. Kids today are so fickle and have zero loyalty to “platforms” because of so much choice, so unless MTV did something drastic they are basically doomed to be the History Channel of music. No wonder they lost their identity. A fascinating case study though. Love your videos.

When I was a teen, mtv was still a decent mix of videos and reality tv show, with some pretty decent adult toons thrown in. I graduated in 03. It definitely was starting to go downhill by the time I was almost out of high school, with teen mom and it's ilk becoming huge

I truly believe MTV should tap into everyone’s appeal for nostalgia by reaching into their vault and pulling out the classics from previous decades. I was born in 89 and was a kid throughout the 90s. So unless shows were reruns, that’d be the only way to know about them such as Daria & Bevis/Butthead. For me personally, I always find myself searching older content on the internet as opposed to newer garbage out. Plus, when viewing the comment section in any given video, I always run across several comments of people born from 00’s forward feeling nostalgic for a world & time they’ve never experienced. As for me myself I lived it and it’s comfortable to visually see and submerge my mind/thoughts back to times of a world we as a society will never live again…. So, I said all of that to say, MTV has created enough content over the last 40 yrs for people of the 80’s to reminisce, children of the 90s to both reminisce AND discover footage before our time & 00’s and beyond to just to get a glimpse into yesterworld that they’ll never get to experience. MTV I believe , unknowingly is sitting on a gold mine…

I'm 40 so I guess I'm that 20%. There was always radio stations, but MTV felt like it was the first bit of freedom you had as a kid. You could listen to all sorts of new and interesting music. But there was something about seeing artists dressing, talking, and acting the same way you and your friends did. That just made the music so much more relatable.

Growing up in NJ, I had MTV in 1981 and it was magical. Music 24/7, weird obscure stuff, popular stuff etc. Once labels found out it boosted sales, it became a taste maker and quickly started to suck.

Music videos were NOT almost unheard of in 1981 when MTV started transmitting ... the Australian music program Countdown began transmitting in 1974 and was one of the first TV shows in the world to promote the regular use of the music video as a major part of its programming, which proved to be a strong influence on both local and international artists creating videos. Many international artists got their very first hit in Australia thanks to their video clip being aired on Countdown, which then later led to their record being picked up in the US and/or Europe.

While MTV went downhill in 1996, I think the network decay did not fully kick in until 2005. I think the network still had a charm between 1997 and 2004 despite it having less music. MTV likely could have been relevant if they did what BBC did with BBC 3 and moved the entire platform online or streaming (though with a much better execution as BBC 3's move online was a disaster). With music moving to streaming, MTV could have reinvented itself.
