Watch the First Two Hours of MTV on YouTube

Somebody posted the first two hours of MTV as a video on YouTube. MTV launched August 1st, 1981 at 12:01am. Thanks to a Trivial Pursuit question, a lot of us know the first video they played was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles, but what about the SECOND video? (Pat Benatar’s “You Better Run”) You’ll also see all the original VJs introduce themselves . . . plus the very first ad that ever aired, for a three-ring binder called The Bulk.
