During the late 1970s (and before the [[MTV]] network debuted), HBO was already airing one or two music videos (or "promotional clips" as they were known at the time) as filler in between their feature films and other series. These short clips also carried the ''Video Jukebox'' moniker. When ''Video Jukebox'' premiered as a half-hour series in December 1981, HBO was reaching more households than MTV (which had been launched only four months earlier), so for about a year until MTV caught up to HBO's subscriber count, a video that aired on ''Video Jukebox'' may have received more exposure there than it would on MTV.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071003050845/http://www2.jsonline.com/enter/tvradio/jul01/mtvtime26072501.asp MTV through the years]</ref> |

Video Juke Box – (Digital Video Music) - The TV or another display device hooks directly to the “Juke Box,” often a set-top box, (though it can be a much larger unit, and could have a video screen built-into it.) Whatever network it's hooked up to, (the transmissions could come via satellite,) the Video Juke Box regularly receives, and often is automatically updated with, different music videos. The least played tracks are automatically deleted upon each transmission of new material. |
