Interestingly, people talk about being in small towns and rural areas and not getting their MTV. It was precisely those areas that got MTV first. Cable TV first flourished in areas where the broadcast signals were weak and had little content.

Loved the old MTV, reality MTV is a huge disappoitment. I am saddened that my children have no idea what it is like to listen to half an album before you can hear their favorite song.

I miss it too, even now!<br /> I still remember the first time I saw Sting and The Police on MTV when they released the "Wrapped Around Your Finger" video and it was the only one to have ever been lighted solely by candles. And of course, who could ever forget the Halloween 1983 exclusive debut of "Thriller" also courtesy of MTV?

I loved watching the videos, but now i would have to wake-up early enough to catch a glimpse before heading off to class.
