Once a music TV channel, now a generalist TV channel

Did you know that Italian TV channel TV8 had its roots as a music channel? Yep, the channel was launched as Videomusic in 1984. The channel would later be rebranded as TMC2 after being bought by Telemontecarlo (now La7) in 1994 and then became MTV Italy in 1997 before that channel was split into two in 2015 with MTV8 and MTV Next and MTV8 would become TV8 a year later.

When the Italian music television channel began broadcasting on April 2, 1984, Lionel Richie's "All Night Long (All Night)" was the first music video to be shown.
