With its debut in 1981, MTV changed the music industry. All of sudden the biggest radio station wasn t a radio station at all, but television. What made it more important is that it was a single national outlet so that artists did not have to get airplay on dozens of different market radio stations. It reemphasized singles rather than albums. It stressed style over substance as new bands with the right look exploded, while more talented but less image-friendly artists fell by the wayside or went underground. MTV has been criticized for less variety and fewer opportunities for artists, thus creating more manufactured artists.
