For those of us in Canada that didn't have cable or were too poor to afford Much Music, there was Video Hits on CBC featuring host Samantha Taylor.
These clips were found at the end of an old Betamax tape that I bought at a garage sale.

For those of us without cable, CBC provided an invaluable service with this show and Good Rockin' Tonight.

We were lucky enough to get CBC on our TV lineup just south of the border in the US (Western New York). I never failed to tune in.

I grew up in Port Clinton, Ohio in the 80's. With our TV antenna, we picked up CBET - 9 out of Windsor, Ontario. Because we did not have MTV back then, I raced home after school every day to catch Samantha Taylor and Video Hits in the afternoon. This is quite a blast from the past!

I'm Canadian, but, same story - used to watched this after school, waiting for my favourite band, Glass Tiger. I remember when we got our first VCR, it was a big deal back then, the tapes were HUGE, I used to wait for Glass Tiger to come on so I could record their videos.

The mall was magical for a teenager in the 80's. They had 2 arcades, 3 movie theaters, 2 food courts, mini golf, world Waterpark, Fantasy land and shops like Graphic Fantasy and Kites & other delights. Simpler times ❤

I previously had tons of CBC Video Hits recorded on a betamax tape, then my Sony Betamax player broke, making everything on that tape unviewable. I really wished I used VHS instead. I also miss the 80's but I'm grateful that I'm still able to have the same hair.

That was about 30 years ago, I don't ever remember throwing it out so it's probably stashed somewhere with other junk. It was all full of music videos, which are all available on KZfaq now. Sometimes I really envy today's generation of how everything is readily available to them at their fingertips. I still remember the countless number of hours I had to spend in front of the TV with my thumb resting on the record button waiting for my favorite music video to play on tv so I could record it.
