MTV's 'Are You The One?' is making history
CNN image(CNN) - MTV started as a music channel when it launched in 1981, but its programming has evolved far beyond music videos. Ahead of this weekend's Pride celebrations, MTV debuted a new season of the reality dating show "Are You the One?" In 2017, Korpi revealed to CNN that he is actually gay, but MTV had called him bisexual. The hourlong documentary, which also premiered on Logo, was part of MTV's Look Different campaign, a multiyear initiative to fight identity biases. Shittu fondly remembers the days when people watched MTV for its music videos but says reality TV can have a stronger influence on youth culture.
