I honestly can’t remember the last time I even switched to MTV. We’re talking over a decade. Probably more. Once they switched to the Real World, Road Rules, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom programming garbage I was gone.

MTV will continue to play music videos and memorable concert performances until 10 p.m. ET, to be followed by a special showing of Purple Rain. The music videos will continue after Prince’s autobiographical movie. And then at 12:30 a.m. ET Friday, Purple Rain will play on loop until 6 a.m.
Nice to see them remember where they came from!
