Superfan Corrals 33,000 Music Videos and Classic Commercials on ‘MTV Rewind’ Site After Shutdown of Overseas Music-Only Channels

The move came after the once-influential network shuttered its remaining 24/7 music channels across a number of European and overseas territories in December.

In the end, video didn’t just kill the radio star, it did itself in as well.
