MTV News started as a brief roundup of music news airing once an hour between music videos. But in its 80’s and 90’s heyday, MTV News became a bona fide outlet for breaking music news, celebrity interviews and high-profile political town halls.
On April 8, 1994, MTV’s Kurt Loder broke into regular programming after it had confirmed the death of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain.
Kurt Loder, Tabitha Soren, Alison Stewart, John Norris were among the correspondents over the years.
In recent years, MTV News focused on short form video and interviews across all its digital platforms.
