Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 3:18 amI heard that some famous rapper recently married a VJ from MTV. How can you have VJs if you don't play videos? Or am I just not watching that 30 minute slot at 4AM?

For most of us in the original NW era and the very begining of MTV, are there any of you who were teenagers in the early 80's who like MTV now?

I was a preteen when the original MTV aired, and I did watch a lot of it at the time. I watched all the shows like "Remote Control" and MTV did show less mainstream programming. I hate to admit it, but I did watch it until a few years ago.

Back in 1983-84 I worked customer svc & tech support for a local 'mom & pop' CATV company.
