"Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles (f/Chris Dalla Riva)

At midnight on August 1st of 1981, MTV hit the airwaves. After an astronaut planted an MTV flag on the moon, viewers were immediately greeted by the opening notes of The Buggles’ prophetic anthem “Video Killed the Radio Star”. Today, we are joined by music critic and On A Related Note co-host Chris Dalla Riva to discuss this historic song, and if the pictures that came actually DID break his heart.
