MTV celebrated their 10 anniversary in 1991. As a video editor at Unitel Video, I was given the task of cutting a general promo for the Network that implied MTV's future would be even better than what it had been up to that time. The promo featured a collage of clips from many of the programs MTV had started to air in the 10 years since the network debuted in 1981. Originally, MTV was a music video service much like a radio station with pictures. But by 1991, the network had moved heavily into airing program-length shows with music as their central focus. Since 1991, MTV has become almost entirely program-centered, and often the programs have little or no music emphasis at all.
