I'm really excited about this. Hopefully get to see Remote Control, Singled Out, Spring Break, Club MTV with Downtown Julie Brown, Beavis & Butt-Head, but most of all, GREAT MUSIC VIDEOS! Maybe they'll even play Joe's Apartment. Remember those commercials?

Thank for the heads up. There's a post about it in the Music forum too.

I don't know what they have planned but if I turn the channel on and see those programs along with Downtown Julie Brown or any other VJ that wasn't among the original 5 then I'm done with it. I can tolerate B&B but classic MTV for me will always be the first 5 years only. I like the idea and hopefully I won't be disappointed.

The original thread had a source that was questionable at best. After finding the commercial that confirmed it I decided to start one on the music board which is actually where it belongs when it involves the subject of classic MTV.

Ok I was just wondering.

If this is the first thing I see then I'll give it a chance.

I don't know about any other veejays but I know for sure J.J. Jackson is dead. And I believe he was on MTV from the start.

We know they hired Matt Pinfield to do voice work based on the promo. I guess it's possible they could bring back old VJ's to host segments or have them do voice work. Probably not much of a budget to work with. VH1 Classic wasn't exactly paying a whole lot for the few shows they produced. The syndicated stuff (including movies, concerts, etc) were mostly shared/leftovers.

Surely they'll air the very first hour of MTV programming when VH1 Classic relaunches. I wonder if they will include the original promos and commercials seen during that first hour back in 1981? They did when they streamed it online for their 25th anniversary. Nevertheless, even for someone who was born in 1994, this will be exciting!

I remember when VH1 Classic aired MTV's first ever hour back in 1981 in honor of their 30th anniversary (since MTV proper didn't want to acknowledge past history anymore).
