各大品牌英文介绍-MTV

MTV is perhaps the most famous music video TV channel in the world. It started life as Music Television on August 1, 1981. The first words spoken on the channel were, "ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll". The first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. MTV became well known¹ for its video of Apollo 11 moon landing² with the U.S.A. flag having a picture of MTVs logo on it. The channel has changed a lot and no longer plays just music. It now broadcasts many different programmes, including reality television shows. In addition to TV shows, MTV has a long history of community, social and political³ activism, which it promotes⁴ through its http://think.mtv.com/ website. It encourages people to fight for their rights.
