VH1 1991 1992 1993

Short commercials way back when VH1 was like 80s MTV, plus more Top 40 and adult contemporary; and played almost nothing but videos and music related programming, with a little bit of other stuff like standup comedy..

LATE 1991 and 1992:

"90 Second News Update" intro with Gordon Steinke.
"Hits News and Weather" bumper for a morning show of music videos mixed with weather and national news updates.
"If it's on VH1, it's a hit!" with Sting talking, also Steve Winwood and Paula Abdul video clips.

DECEMBER 1993 (probably used into 1994 too):

(Credit to Michael Pannoni) This was a transitional period when they still had ties to their circa 1990 programming, but were expanding and it had more of a "90s 90s" vibe, like with more urban and R&B music, and other non-music related shows.

"Let's see your radio do this!"

"The fountain of youth with a volume control" promo.
All day standup comedy marathon (they still did lots of Standup Spotlight at the time, which was huge from 89-92).
