MTV is an American and international music television channel, officially launched on August 01, 1981 and based in New York City. The channel originally aired music videos and related shows, but nowadays it is concentrating on reality programmes and series tailored to teenagers and young adults.

Tina Turner made history with her very first music video for Ball Of Confusion as one of the first black artists to appear on MTV, when the burgeoning network added it to its programming schedule in 1982. Since then, she was present with all of her music videos, in interviews, specials, and news, internationally and nationally. She presented videos from other stars in MTV The Hits, received awards and performed at the MTV Video Music Awards, was a guest VJ on MTV Videos, was the subject in specials like the Foreign Affair Tour Special and the Break Every Rule Contest, was constantly present in the 'MTV News‘ programme and gave many interviews like with Mark Goodman on January 28, 1983 or with Martha Quinn on August 22, 1984. She also produced several commercials like 'If This Is Tina It Must Be Europe’ in 1986.
