With ‘throwing it back’ being a popular movement within today’s culture, MTV just ran off with that plug, twice.
Viacom just announced that it will turn VH1 Classic to MTV Classic on August 1st to match the initial launch date of MTV back in ’81.
President of MTV Sean Atkins said, they will focus on “an eclectic mix of fan-favorite MTV series, & music programming drawn from its rich history, with a special focus on 1990’s & early 2000’s”.
Some of the shows mentioned are Beavis & Butt-head, Laguna Beach, TRL, MTV Unplugged, & The Real World.
