R.E.M. by MTV

Alt-rock icons R.E.M. formed in 1980; a year later, MTV made its inaugural broadcast and soon began reporting on the Athens, Georgia-based group's career. Now, a new feature-length documentary, "R.E.M. by MTV" , compiles decades of footage that the network had stored in its vaults to tell the group's story. It will be included in the upcoming six-DVD box set REMTV, out November 24th, and will premiere simultaneously on MTV and its sister networks VH1 and Palladia, in late November, according to NPR, which premiered the trailer.
