The well-known channel today known widely across the world as MTV started broadcasting in 1981. This was chronologically after the discovery in 1970 when the record industry found that TV shows were a great opportunity to promote their artists. The focus at first was based around producing short 'promos', early music videos which started to replace live performances by viewing the artists on television. Surprisingly, the first video to ever be played on MTV was 'Video Killed the Radio Star' by The Buggles. Shortly after in 1984, Michael Jackson released his extraordinary 'Thriller' which had a unique music video being described as a short film. After the release of this video, the concept of music videos changed forever.
