Happy 25th anniversary to MTV. Music Television debuted on this date in 1981 with the video of The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star." MTV started out as a music video station on cable television, devoted primarily to pop music. Over the years the station has featured a variety of programs, including animated cartoons, reality shows, drama and comedy, and a majority of its programming now consists of non-music TV shows. Some of its top-rated shows include Beavis and Butt-Head, The Osbournes and Punk'd.
