Oh yes ... video literally did, "kill the radio star"
there for a stretch ... or was that "video MADE the
radio star." Either way, it's a point that shouldn't
be overlooked.

No, they're not there. MTV's just a series of barely
adolescent cuties either taking their clothes off in
Mexico, or fighting with each other in some
docorator's nightmare garret in this year's trendiest
city of the century.
MTV2 plays videos ... but not nearly so many "new"
ones. Video has indeed, gone from marketing necessity
to marketing accessory. Probably for the better!
