Reality shop 495 Prods. has renewed its nonexclusive deal with MTV. The music cabler, for which 495 already produces the "A Shot at Love" franchise, has made a commitment for three series under the deal.
The production company also promoted Stephanie Lydecker to head of development. Lydecker previously worked alongside 495 founder and prexy Sally Ann Salsano on "Sally Jessy Raphael." At 495, she has spearheaded projects including "Shot at Love" and the Style Network's "Big Party Plan-Off."

The shop is currently in production on Oxygen's upcoming "Dance Your Ass Off."

It's been over 35 years since the world of music and pop culture changed forever with the words "ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll".

Today, it's not about the music – Total Request Live ended after 20 years on air in 2008 – as we've now got reality gems like Catfish, Geordie Shore, Just Tattoo of Us and more.

But how did we get from there to here?

In an age when videos are an expensive luxury, and we can listen to music for free whenever we want, who needs a video channel?

In the early 2000s, then-MTV president Van Toeffler said: "Clearly, the novelty of just showing music videos has worn off. It's required us to reinvent ourselves to a contemporary audience."

Well, it certainly has managed to reinvent itself – here is a timeline of the network's most memorable and influential shows, and a look towards MTV's future.
