MTVGoodbye VH1 Classic! Say hello to MTV Classic, which is bringing Daria, Laguna Beach, Beavis & Butt-head and more back to your TVs. The rebrand will feature a mix of fan-favorite shows with a focus on 1990s and early 2000s programming. The nostalgia is real.
"From Beavis & Butt-head to Laguna Beach, MTV's programming vault is a music and pop culture goldmine with universal resonance," Sean Atkins, president of MTV, said in a statement. "MTV Classic gives audiences a modern and artful home for classic MTV programming and—alongside MTV, MTV2, MTV Live and mtvU—rounds out a diverse portfolio with music and youth culture at its core."
MTV Classic launches Monday, Aug. 1, 35 years to the day that MTV made its debut. The new network will kick off with MTV Hour One, the first program MTV aired back in 1981.
In addition to Daria, Beavis & Butt-head and Laguna Beach, MTV Classic will be home to TRL specials, MTV Unplugged, Aeon Flux, Pimp My Ride, Cribs, Jackass, Punk'd, Clone High, Wonder Showzen and more. The weekends will be home to marathons of shows like Laguna, Real World and Road Rules.
MTV Classic will also be home to movies, converts and music videos from the last three decades of music.
