It seems like just yesterday that we were seeing Pete Townshend saying "I want my MTV". Those were the days.

I saw Mark Goodman do a History Channel show recently. He looked the same, except for short hair.

She's been working as a DJ. She had a gig here in Denver at an 80s retro station a few years ago.

Ah, I stopped watching MTV when they stopped playing music. I'll watch the odd movie now and then.
No wonder I don't know who Loder is/was.

I remember when MTV played the same 20 videos over and over 24/7

Feeling old with that?
I remember watching MTV on the first day it starting operations.

As a joke that question occurred to me as well...but truthfully, I wasn't aware that he was still on MTV...I figured he went out at the same time all the other video jockeys did. I haven't watched MTV since they stopped showing videos...**shrug**

Technically, it was Sting that sang "I want my MTV" on the Dire Straits song...
Also, I seem to remember that there were several promos of different musicians saying "I want my MTV" as well. I think Townshend was one of them...
Anyway, The Tube Music Network is what a music channel should be - all videos, minimal (local only) commercials, and no "shows"...
To: danneskjold; KevinB
The original poster was talking about the MTV commercials that used to feature popular artists of the day saying "I want my MTV!". That was their slogan and that is where Dire Straits got it for their song.
Actually, the song is about an experience Mark Knopfler had in an appliance store when he overheard some employees talking as they watched MTV on the display models.
