MTV launches a throwback TV channel
New York — MTV is rebranding VH1 Classic as MTV Classic and says the channel plans to serve up 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 Unplugged episodes that MTV says haven't been aired in years also will be rerun.
MTV Classic will debut on 1 August — 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.
