In the early and mid-'80s, I didn't have MTV...even though I had (and still have) cable! At that time, MTV just wasn't a part of the local cable company's basic channel lineup...yet!

However, there was another source for music videos: TBS' NIGHT TRACKS.

One '80s video I remember seeing on TBS' Night Tracks was Murray Head's One Night In Bangkok.

Another video I remember was Stan Bush's The Touch. It's a song available on Transformers: The Movie's soundtrack, by the way.

TBS ditched Night Tracks years ago, but I still remember it--even today.

I saw my share of Night Tracks too. By the time we got cable it was 1984 and our cable system had MTV. Saturday nights I would channel surf between MTV, Night Tracks, Night Flight (I believe it aired on USA).

i miss that show.

i remember the voice

"Nightracks, USA!"

brings back good memories of staying up late, catching Thompson Twins and Duran videos, etc.
