The very first song was "Video killed the Radio Star". How amusing. I'm sure, however, that today much more people listen to the radio than watch MTV.

In a bit of irony, I just realized that I've heard that song hundreds of times over the radio, but not until today had I ever seen the video.

I'd only ever seen a different video for the song, which had a setting like a music TV show lipsync before studio audience/extras (but I don't see any show branding on the set): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjz23Q92A4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRXeBKys-Sw

Wikipedia only mentions the video that's in this 2-hour MTV launch video.
