Question

true or false? the original programming idea behind mtv was to basically emulate (obviously in video form) a rock channel on the typical american fm radio dial of the time.

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation: MTV's effect on record sales was quickly noted. During the channel's initial rise and 1980s heyday, it helped to kick-start the careers of stars such as Cyndi Lauper, and launched others – like Madonna and Michael Jackson – into the stratosphere.
