It was originally created to show music videos but now it features music, fashion and lifestyle to attitudes, politics, news and trends. It has 166 channels and 350 digital media properties reaching more than 578 million households in 162 countries worldwide. This shows how quick this channel has evolved and also shows that media has a big impact on peoples life as more and more started watching it. The first images shown on MTV were a montage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The 1st video ever to be played on MTV was by 'The Buggies - Video Killed The Radio Star'. The name says it for itself, that video has taken over radio and the fact that they say "Killed", it shows that it has taken over forever. Even in the video, it shows a woman trapped in a glass box, this may represent that people will be able to see moving pictures for the 1st time on TV.
