Changing music industry- MTV
MTV (or, Music Television) is an American channel, first launched in 1981, it was the first channel of its kind and has since influenced a massive growth in the number of music channels worldwide. Primarily airing only music videos, MTV has gone on to air reality TV shows such as MTV Cribs, host musical events such as MTV Unplugged and gain a number of daughter channels.
MTV's original purpose was to play non-stop music videos for 24 hours a day, with people known as VJs (video jockeys) to choose which ones to play. They would also advertise to and inform viewers of music news such as upcoming concerts, album releases, etc.
MTV often sparked controversy in its earlier days, mimicking the Top 40 single charts
