That is, unless those archives contain recordings of virtually all of MTV's
decades-worth of broadcasts.</P>
<P>The network, which is owned by Viacom, has begun digitizing old VHS tapes
that contain everything from interviews and live performances over the course of
MTV's 35 years, according to Bloomberg. And it's all taking place in a Hollywood

<P>MTV’s past lives on in one place: the Vault, a library of more than 2 million
files dating back to the network’s inception in 1981. The Vault houses full
episodes of <EM>Yo! MTV Raps</EM> and <EM>Total Request Live</EM>, as well as
footage from the red carpets of major awards shows, behind-the-scenes at music
festivals and interviews with major political and cultural figures.<BR></P>
