More about the episode
In 2003 we were paying $30 for CDs and mainlining music videos. The internet was a bit slow, so there was huge demand for music videos on the telly to see the not many, if any, dudes who could roll like this. Juice TV had been plugging away on Sky, but then C4 entered the chat offering endless music videos that were free for all, and a slew of top notch hosting talent to boot. As C4 celebrates its 20 year anniversary, Jane and Duncan remember the glorious arrival of our last great music channel while simultaneously realising we didn’t know how good we had it.
