Early MTV music video contest question.
July 5, 2020 12:36 PM   Subscribe

In the early 1980s MTV had a weekly(?) contest/program featuring videos submitted by unsigned bands. What was the name of the contest/program and is there any record of the bands and videos that participated? I seem to remember that Mark Goodman was the host.

Response by poster: Thanks, jonathanhughes! I'm surprised how little info there is about the program now, not even an entry in Wikipedia.
