Video Jukebox (TV series)
''Video Jukebox'' is an American television program that aired from 1981 to 1986 on HBO. It was a monthly series that showcased music videos from the popular recording artists of the time such as Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Prince, Culture Club, Linda Ronstadt, David Bowie, Bow Wow Wow, Kim Wilde, Hall & Oates, Madonna, Blondie, Rush, and The Human League. A typical episode of ''Video Jukebox'' consisted of seven or eight music videos and lasted roughly 30 minutes, and the lineup changed in the middle of each month.〔''1980's HBO program guides''〕
During the late 1970s (and before the MTV network debuted), HBO was already airing one or two music videos (or "promotional clips" as they were known at the time) as filler in between their feature films and other series. These short clips also carried the ''Video Jukebox'' moniker. When ''Video Jukebox'' premiered as a half-hour series in December 1981, HBO was reaching more households than MTV (which had been launched only four months earlier), so a video that aired on ''Video Jukebox'' may have received a little more exposure than it would on MTV, a claim that would be short-lived as MTV quickly gained more cable markets by around 1983.〔(MTV through the years )〕
The series had no host until September 1985, when Dennis Elsas was brought on as voiceover talent, introducing the videos that were shown on the program. Elsas served as host of ''Video Jukebox'' until its final airing in November 1986.
At the peak of its popularity in the mid-1980s, ''Video Jukebox'' spawned many "special editions", including ''Christmas Jukebox'', ''Country Jukebox'', ''Comedy Jukebox'', ''Heavy Metal Jukebox'', ''Sixties Jukebox'', and other editions featuring songs from movies and Grammy winners.〔''HBO Guides''〕
