     Thirty-years ago today (August 1st, 1981), MTV was born...Now 30 year's later we look back at it's first day of broadcast. Below check out six clips of MTV's first hour of broadcast. At 12:01 A.M. MTV launched by showing real footage of a space shuttle preparing for liftoff followed by an animated astronaut planting an MTV flag on the moon... You then hear a man’s voice say, “Ladies and Gentlemen…rock 'n' roll.” The MTV logo flashes in different patterns, which would become a trademark of the cable channel along with the catchy guitar riff.

     Celebrate MTV's 30th birthday, check out the first hour of broadcast below!
