Subject: What's your favorite music video show/program of the '80s? (besides MTV/VH1)

Written By: yelimsexa on 11/01/15 at 12:23 pm

While most people think of MTV (and a lesser degree VH1) as the primary means of watching music videos on TV during the '80s, many who weren't around for that decade discover that other channels, both cable and on air had their own music video block, usually airing overnight on a Friday or Saturday night. Night Flight was the oldest such program starting in May 1981, but most of these shows died out by the end of the '80s or in the early '90s. So for those who could either remember or could find clips of the following, which one of these was your favorite, from the DJs, graphics, and playlist selections?

Even though I don't remember the 80s, nor was I born during the decade, I consider Video Jukebox from HBO to be my favorite.

I remember watching Friday Night Videos and Video Jukebox on HBO or what they used to call it back in the days, WHT.

I remember Night Flights and American Bandstand.  Solid Gold back in the 80's was pretty good.
