The revival started with the Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star,” the first video that aired on MTV in 1981 and during the first hour featured no on-air talent except traffic reports from Jones, playing mostly songs from the 1980s and 1990s by acts such as U2, Stone Temple Pilots, Flock of Seagulls and Collective Soul. In promos, it’s now dubbing itself “the original 99X.” On Twitter, the station promised on-air staff on Jan. 3 so for the next month, it will just play music.
