The early videos of the channel were mostly promotional videos, during the 1980s. The company also played various types of rock acts during the 1980s as well. In the year 1985, the company was a part of spreading awareness of the AIDS epidemic. During the 1980s, the channel had also broken the ‘colour barrier, as in racial discrimination between white people and black people, and therefore started to host black people as hosts or music artists.
