MTV was a global music phenomenon that finally reached Australia's shores in 1987.
It ran for six years on free-to-air TV on the Nine Network and was hosted by Richard Wilkins, and in this episode, which aired in October 1987, Wilkins is joined by co-host Malinda Rutter, a former Simon Townsend's Wonder World! reporter.
This clip opens with the iconic MTV logo before Wilkins introduces his interview with rock singer Huey Lewis.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
