Best I can tell, about 15-20 years ago, MTV went for the 14-year old girl demographic and never came back. Heck, until you said something, I wasn't even sure it still existed as a channel.

 There was a really good documentary on spring break in Florida from the mid 80s to mid 90s. I wish I could remember the name of it. MTV was a major player in the early 90s. The drinking laws were to get the kids out. The money wasn't worth it anymore for the trouble the kids caused.

It happened around 2003-2005 from what I gather. It just went to poo. Supposedly, hey still have it. But it’s on MTVU, which I did not know existed until today.

MTV died for me when they had to change from being a radio station on TV into a TV station that played some stuff that was on the radio.

I actually got to tour it and be on MTV my senior year, 1982, right before they turned into a national phenomenon. When we visited the VJs didn't think anyone was watching it, while my buddies and I had it on like 5 hours a day

Thats Nina Blackwood in the middle she was so cool, they all were - got to play Space Duel on the set with JJ Jackson and we introduced a Split Enz video with Alan Hunter!
