Friday Night Videos, recreated
NBC was cool once.
In the 1980s, not everyone had MTV. Our (small) cable company didn’t.
The only broadcast alternative for music videos was NBC’s Friday Night Videos, which aired after Johnny Carson.
Above, the Emmy-winning title graphics by Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton (more on them in a post tomorrow).
And here’s most of the videos from the above show (minus Prince and Morris Day; not readily embeddable). With some vintage closing credits and more at the end . . . .
