MTV News Breaking News on Kurt Cobain's Death
On April 5, 1994 Kurt Donald Cobain died at age 27. His body was not found until April 8 when an electrician went to the home and discovered the body. Hard to believe its been 30 years.

Cobain at Nirvana's MTV Unplugged taping
I’ve talked before about April 5 in Seattle music history here. I’ve talked even more times about Cobain and Nirvana. Of all celebrity deaths, that is one that had a big impact on me. I had just started high school in the Fall of 1991 when Nirvana’s Nevermind was released and their music was the soundtrack to high school for me. Skip ahead to April 8. I was at an after-school job and the radio was on. It was WBCN I believe. The DJ reported that a dead body had been found at the home of Kurt Cobain in Seattle. No more information was given. It wasn’t clear if Kurt was gone or if someone had died on the property. That night, my step-sister was at our house and she asked me “are you in mourning?”, I didn’t know what she meant at first, so she followed up, “Kurt Cobain. He’s dead.”. I didn’t want to believe it. So I immediately went to my room and turned on WFNX. They were playing Nirvana all night and taking calls from listeners (’FNX were early supporters of Nirvana and some say they are the ones who broke them by playing Nevermind before it was even released). In the days and weeks that followed, I listened to Nirvana nonstop. I also picked up every newspaper and magazine I could get my hand on with an obit (Newsweek, Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, People, Rolling Stone, etc) and I watched MTV News’ coverage of the vigil with Courtney Love reading the note to the audience. It was a lot to process, especially as a teenager.

Last year when MTV shut down MTV News, one of the big things I remembered was their coverage of Cobain's passing. Much of the media looked at it as a drugged-out rock star who couldn't handle success. MTV News treated it as an important musician for teens and 20-somethings at that time. Someone who spoke to this generation's feelings and anxieties. At exactly the moment I was in high school, here was a band that was singing about confusion, alienation and rebellion. The music spoke to me. MTV News was also sensitive in their reporting as they included suicide-prevention info in their coverage as well. After the initial report, they did further coverage in their Week In Rock show and did a full Nirvana tribute special a few weeks later (still have my copy!).

Cobain in 1989 when Nirvana played Boston
Over the years, I’ve continued to enjoy Nirvana live and compilation albums and I’ve also continued to follow both Kris Novoselic and Dave Grohl’s respective musical journey as well. The fact that there were only 3 studio albums from Nirvana has only fed my interest in seeking out rarities and live bootlegs. We can only imagine what would have happened for Cobain as a musician and creative force if he had lived. But at least he left us so many gifts to remember him by: Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero and MTV Unplugged to name just a few! 
Here is that MTV News report from April 8, 1994 where Kurt Loder broke the news.

Alex Weprin at THR: 
Thirty-six years after MTV News was created to expand the stable of programming that defined the cable channel MTV, it is no more.
MTV News was shuttered this week as part of larger layoffs at parent company Paramount Global.
What launched as a single show in 1987 (The Week in Rock, led by correspondent Kurt Loder) eventually became a bona fide news outlet for Gen X and older millennials who found that traditional TV programming on the broadcast networks and CNN wasn’t cutting it.
Correspondents like Loder, Tabitha Soren, SuChin Pak, Gideon Yago, Alison Stewart and others covered music, pop culture, politics and other topics with an eye toward the younger generation that was tuned to MTV, rather than the network evening newscasts.
Along the way, MTV News created some pop culture moments itself, perhaps none more so than in 1994, when President Clinton appeared on MTV’s Enough Is Enough, a town hall addressing violence in America.
The special was led by Soren and Stewart and saw them, as well as audience members in attendance, asking questions of Clinton about fighting crime and balancing personal freedom with societal responsibility. But it was a section of lighter questions and answers that made national headlines, when an audience member asked Clinton, “Mr. President, the world’s dying to know, is it boxers or briefs?”
“Usually briefs. I can’t believe she did that,” Clinton responded, to laughter from the crowd.
MTV News subsequently held town halls with with Barack Obama, John McCain, Bill Gates and others, and boxers or briefs would become a running joke still referenced to this day.
Coverage of topics like sexual health, the Iraq War and devastating natural disasters earned the news division and its correspondents Emmys and Peabody Awards, while it continued to deliver news and criticism of music and pop culture.
On April 8, 1994, MTV broke into regular programming after it had confirmed the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, with Loder breaking the news to the channel’s viewers.
To be certain, the MTV News of 2023 was much smaller and far less high-profile than the MTV News of the 1990s and early 2000s, when it could help define pop culture and cover stories more traditional outlets wouldn’t touch.
MTV News was already significantly reduced in size back in 2017, when it largely abandoned a strategy to take on outlets like BuzzFeed and Vice with a team of digital journalists led by Grantland alum Dan Fierman. The company said at the time it would refocus on shortform content and video in a return to its roots (MTV News used to have interstitials at the top of the hour on the cable channel with news updates). The most recent iteration focused on entertainment and pop culture news and criticism.
RIP MTV News. After 36 years, MTV News is no more, as Paramount gutted the division in mass layoffs. MTV News birthed several legends in journalism over its 36 years, such as Kurt Loder, Gideon Yago, SuChin Pak, John Norris, Serena Altschul, Chris Connelly, Sway, and more.
