8 p.m. on A&E Biography: I Want My MTV
This new two-hour special charts the rise of a music channel that came to define a generation as a cultural phenomenon. In the early days of cable TV, MTV’s scrappy, irreverent lineup of music videos eventually evolved into a reflection of America’s youth culture. As the channel and its programming matured and became more sophisticated, MTV pushed the envelope with art, sex, gender and race, and when the information revolution ignited, MTV was at the forefront in new technologies. Interviews include Pat Benatar, Sting, Annie Lennox and many others.
A new episode called “Crimes and Punishment” looks at America’s kings of crime, an unsavory rogue gallery that encompasses serial killers, terrorists and the mafia.
