VIDEO HITS AXED

The rumours swirling around the music industry this past week or so regarding the possible demise of one of Australia’s longest running music shows have proven to be true.
Channel 10 has this afternoon confirmed that their weekend morning champion ‘Video Hits’ will come to an end early next month.
Premiering on the network on February 15, 1987, the show was a weekend institution, bringing music fans all their favourite clips each week.
There were the obligatory competitions and interviews with some of the planet’s biggest artists, all under the guidance of a selection of awesome hosts.
Ten’s Chief Programming Officer David Mott explained the reasons for the show’s demise in a statement;
“Video Hits’ contribution to the network and the music industry over the past 24 years has been outstanding,” he said. “Music and how people listen to it, watch it and enjoy it has changed dramatically in last few years and now is the perfect time for the institution that is Video Hits to sign off. The show will always hold a special place in TEN’s history.”
Current hosts Faustina (Fuzzy) Agolley and Dylan Lewis will present a retrospective of the past 24 years on the final show.
Video Hits will continue each Saturday and Sunday morning until the final show at 10am on Saturday August 06.
