What is MTV? / Facts
- Launched on August 1, 1981, the channel originally aired music videos as guided by television personalities known as "video jockeys" (VJs)
- In its early years, MTV's main target demographic was young adults, but today it is primarily towards teenagers, high school students and college students
- MTV has toned down its music video programming significantly in recent years, and its programming now consists mainly of original reality, comedy and drama programming and some off-network syndicated programs and films, with limited music video programming in off-peak time periods
- It has received criticism towards this change of focus, both by certain segments of its audience and musicians
- MTV's influence on its audience, including issues involving censorship and social activism, has also been a subject of debate for several years
- In recent years, MTV had struggled with the secular decline of music-related cable media
- MTV ratings had been said to be failing systematically, as younger viewers increasingly shift towards digital media, with yearly ratings drops as high as 29%; thus there was doubt of the lasting relevance of MTV towards young audiences
- In April 2016, MTV announced it would start to return to its original music roots with the reintroduction of the classic MTV series MTV Unplugged
- It was also reported that the series MTV Cribs would be making a return on Snapchat, with 14 original music-related shows speculated to be in production
- MTV has spawned numerous sister channels in the US and affiliated channels internationally, some of which have gone independent
- As of July 2015, approximately 92,188,000 US households (79.2% of households with television) have received MTV
