Video killed the radio star

I have always found it interesting that 'Video killed the radio star' by the Buggles was the first track ever played on the US version of MTV. Of course video would kill the radio star and MTV would go on to dominate commercial music for the next decade or so but it has certainly lost its grip on things. Not being a fan of too much top 40 music, I have never really followed MTV. Despite this, it has come to my attention that MTV doesn't actually play music anymore. It seems apparent that MTV has moved away from playing poorly written generic pop music to playing poorly written generic television shows. How ironic.
