“I Want My MTV!”*…
You’ve probably seen a variation of this news on social media over the past few days: MTV officially shut down on New Year’s Eve, ending their final broadcast the same way the network started: With the clip “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles.
But those posts are misinformed. It’s New Year’s Day 2026, and MTV is still around. Granted, today the channel is playing a marathon of “The Big Bang Theory” sitcom repeats, so your interpretation of “MTV is still around” may vary…
– Variety, January 1, 2026
Indeed, the reality shows and network re-runs are still flowing. But the new owners of MTV’s parent, Paramount Global, did end its dedicated, 24/7 music channels (like MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s) at the close of 2025 across most international markets, effectively ceding the video music turf to YouTube.
So it’s a propitious moment to pause and reflect on the legacy, the impact of MTV…
… MTV, the Music Television that launched a thousand careers and redefined a generation, is finally shutting down [as a music channel]. It’s bittersweet to see it go, but it’s also a perfect moment to reflect on just how profoundly this channel, born in a blaze of sound and vision, altered the landscape of music, media, and even society itself.
It’s hard to imagine now, but before August 1, 1981, music was primarily an auditory experience. You listened to it on the radio, on records, or at concerts. The idea of a 24-hour channel dedicated solely to music videos was revolutionary, a gamble by Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment. They saw the burgeoning popularity of music videos, then mostly promotional tools for artists, and envisioned a dedicated platform. The very first video ever played, fittingly, was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles – a prophetic title if there ever was one.
MTV’s early days were a chaotic, vibrant mix of rock, pop, and new wave, with VJs (video jockeys) becoming household names. It was raw, experimental, and deeply intertwined with the youth culture of the 80s. But what started as a niche cable channel quickly exploded into a global phenomenon, forever altering how we consumed and understood music. So, as we bid adieu, let’s explore ten ways MTV truly changed everything…

As we recollect rock, we might recall that it was on this date in 1972 that David Bowie released “Changes,” from his 1971 album Hunky Dory. Co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott, it featured Rick Wakeman on piano and the musicians who would later become known as the Spiders from Mars—Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey.

@sodiboo I rather want #NAT46 aka. #IPv6+#IPv4 on #WAN and #IPv4only #LAN, because I don't have a provider-independent #IP-Address Space and my #ISP can't be assed to comply with §73 Section 3 Sentence 3 Telecommunications Act so proper Static-IPv6 configuration doesn't work!
Needless to say the way most vendors implement it is fucking cursed!
If I was @BNetzA I'd mandate every Internet connection to be either #DualStack or at least have a /104 of static IPv6's with every #CGNAT'd device (whilst prosecuting every CGNAT using #RFC1918 address space as computer sabotage for bricking #VPN|s)…
Somebody really needs to make a dedicated streaming service for classic soap opera archives. I know it is possible cause I grew up watching SoapNet on digital cable/satellite, so those archives at least then still existed for most soaps. Wanting to watch 90s soap operas these days is a nightmare.

⬆️ Cable Upright Rows for Delts and Trap Growth ⬆️
Cable upright rows are best used to target the lateral delts and upper traps with constant tension.
☑️ Cable height: Set the cable low, starting near thigh level
☑️ Stance: Tall posture, ribs down, core lightly braced
☑️ Stop when elbows reach shoulder height
☑️ Do not pull higher than that, higher ≠ more growth, just more joint stress
💭 Think: “Elbows lead, hands follow”

Freddie Welsh was a Welsh World boxing champion. The lightweight boxer was born in Pontypridd, Wales, nicknamed the "Welsh Wizard". Brought up in a tough mining community, Welsh left a working-class background to make a name for himself in America. He turned professional as a boxer in Philadelphia in 1905, and spent the best part of his career fighting in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Welsh
