MTV debuted August 1, 1981, with its sister channel VH1 making the scene January 1, 1985. Considering what they used to show, do you remember what the acronyms for each station mean?

MTV's first music video was appropriately enough Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles, while VH1 started their broadcast history with Marvin Gaye's rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
