Came out in 85. Think MTV but more underground rock and hip hop videos. It really got going in the 90's though. You could call the 900 number (remember those) and request music videos. Think college radio but music videos.

---The Box (originally the Video Jukebox Network) was a pioneering 1990s interactive music video channel where viewers called a 900-number to request videos, which then played on a local, often eclectic, playlist. Known as "Music Television You Control," it was famous for playing hip-hop, metal, and underground music not shown on MTV before being acquired by MTV Networks in 1999 and shutting down in 2001.---
