History

MTV on the Nine Network

The "MTV" brand was launched in Australia during April 1987 as a music program that aired late on Friday and Saturday nights for its full six-year run on the free-to-air Nine Network. The program was hosted by Richard Wilkins and Joy Smithers with music news from Alison Drower.Today Show on NineMSN

''NineMSN''. Retrieved 18 August 2008 Its competitors at the time were ABC TV's '' Rage'' (which also started in April 1987) and Network Ten's '' Video Hits'' (which started in February 1987). MTV Australia's focus was predominantly on Australian, British, Canadian and American artists and the program rarely played other forms of rock and pop music. The program presented a mixture of music videos, interviews and segments, and depended heavily on imported US content. In its early years it also showed the MTV USA game show ''
