It may have been forty years since the iconic television program launched, but people are still saying, “I want my MTV!” To celebrate the ruby anniversary of one of the most influential pop culture mediums in history, iHeartRadio CEO and MTV founder Bob Pittman, with the help of his fellow founders John Sykes, Judy McGrath, Fred Seibert, Tom Freston, and Jarl Mohn, tell the real story of how they launched MTV on this special compilation episode of Math & Magic.
They spill all the juicy details, like how much the business struggled in the beginning, how the famous logo spent some time in the trash can, and why Van Halen can’t be trusted with contest winners.
