Who Killed the Video Star: The Story of MTV

Hosted by former MTV VJ Dave Holmes, 'Who Killed the Video Star' is a nostalgic and analytical deep dive into the cultural phenomenon that was MTV. The podcast chronicles the network's meteoric rise as the definitive voice of youth culture and its subsequent decline in the digital age. Through interviews with industry insiders and former staff, the show explores the evolution of music television, the birth of reality programming, and the eventual dismantling of iconic brands like MTV News. It serves as both a historical retrospective and a critical commentary on the shifting landscape of modern media, algorithms, and the loss of curated entertainment. This series is essential listening for Gen X and Millennial audiences who grew up with the network and are interested in the intersection of media history, pop culture, and corporate strategy.
