You want your MTV? It's back — on VH1
NEW YORK — MTV is rebranding VH1 Classic as MTV Classic and says the channel will offer heaps of nostalgia for fans of “Beavis and Butt-head,” “Daria,” “Total Request Live,” and other MTV staples.
MTV says the channel will have “a special focus on the 1990s and early 2000s.” In addition to full-season marathons of “The Real World,” “Road Rules” and “Laguna Beach,” MTV says the channel will feature prime-time programming blocks that include episodes of “Cribs,” “Jackass,” “Punk’d” and others.
MTV Classic will debut Monday — 35 years to the day of MTV’s debut. It’s first show will be “MTV Hour One,” a rebroadcast of MTV’s first hour of programming from 1981.
