Title: Video Hits - Dead at 24
Post by: Trolld on July 06, 2011, 01:01:54 AM

Good Riddance !!!
Good work Lauchy & David Mott!

Ten has decided to pull the plug on its long running music show Video Hits after 24 years.

The final show will be broadcast on Saturday, August 6 with hosts Dylan Lewis and Faustina "Fuzzy" Agolley celebrating its contribution to the music industry over the past two decades.

Ten's chief programming officer David Mott says the decision to axe the long running show was made because of the changing nature of the music industry.

"Video Hits' contribution to the network and the music industry over the past 24 years has been outstanding," Mott says.

"Music and how people listen to it, watch it and enjoy it has changed dramatically in last few years and now is the perfect time for the institution that is Video Hits to sign off. The show will always hold a special place in Ten's history."

Video Hits premiered on Ten on February 15, 1987 and has helped establish the careers of many Australian artists including Missy Higgins, Angus & Julia Stone and Art Vs Science.

It also attracted some of the music industry's biggest international stars such as Beyonce and U2.

While it started as a music video clip program it evolved to include interviews and live music events

It's been on a steady downward spiral for the last 5 years ...

Mercy killing, anyone?

I wonder if he said that with a straight face!

I was going to rubbish the show too, then after a moment I remembered looking forward to Video Hits in my early teens every Saturday. I lost interest when metal became my main playing\listening style and Video Hits didn't cater for my tates. It's a mediocre death for a show that once in an influential position.

One time visiting a friends house, they had VH in the background and 'Jizz In My Pants' came on. It took me 30 secs to crack up at the lyrics  :laugh:
