MTV got rid of music videos because no one was watching them and they didn't want to go bankrupt.

This was after MTV broke their racist policies of not airing black artists. Lionel Richie is interviewed by Mark Goodman. Unlike David Bowie, Richie did not mention the fact that he wasn't allowed on MTV just a year or so before this. Richie talks about his conscious effort to cross over. I will always call out MTV for its racism. That they refused to air Rick James - who was huge at the time - is nothing short of pure racism.

I totally agree with you!! If you go back to the first day of the channel, they played couple country and jazz artists that weren't really rock music.

@@MusicTelevisionPromoLover And they got famous playing white artists that were doing what was considered "black" music back then like George Micheal/Wham , Culture Club, ABC, Madonna, Hall and Oates, and even the Rolling Stones - it was called pop or rock because they were not black.They claimed a all rock format when they started but almost no one they played was more rock-oriented than Prince and Rick James

@@MusicTelevisionPromoLover They did but I dont recall them being on from the start of MTV. I think the worst part of it is that many of the white artists were not playing rock - they were doing pop and R&B. Culture Club, Wham, Madonna were not rock - they were ripping off black dance music. MTV was claiming a rock format in the beginning. I love MTV from day one because I was a black kid who listened to everything regardless of racial category. Being able to see Van Halen, The Police, and Billy Idol was monumental to me then. But I knew that Prince, Rick James, and Cameo were just as new wave/rock as those white artists. I had to turn to BET to see their videos. I did love that the best VJ was black and I used to stand up for MTV by citing that fact when my friends would attack me for "playing white boy music"

@@christophertracy2807 I hate that term "playing white boy music"...that's the problem I had to deal with my whole life in Pittsburgh (yes, I'm black myself in case you're wondering and I'm a black rock musician too). I keep telling people that we're the ones who started rock music but we were thrown under the bus by white people. Don't want to be too political here but it's true. And I understand what Rick James is saying because he is a black rocker himself (which many people forget that he was in a band with Neil Young back in the 60s) and how himself and other black artists are not getting any love on MTV because it's a "rock" station which, like you said, most of the artists aren't "rock" but still being played on the channel.

Thanks but this is not from May 19, it’s most likely from Saturday, May 12, 1984. Lionel’s tour started in Tulsa on May 15 and “Panama” world premiered on Thursday, May 17.

MTV was music television. Did a damn good job of it. But I guess the $ were higher as STV. How I’ll never know. But I do know it was shit to the Nth degree.
