I have a problem that I hope someone out there can help me with: I recently attended a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. This concert was taped for MTV's 'Influences of Rock'n'Roll' series. I wanted to tape this when it is broadcast. They said at the show that it would be aired on October 3, but it wasn't and to my dismay, I could not find any source that listed when MTV will play ANYTHING. As far as I can tell, the only way to find this out is to watch MTV continuously. I can't because I don't have cable TV. Does anyone out there know either how to find out when this stuff is going to be aired or do you know when this particular show is to be aired (for real). Thanks a million (and change) in advance. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard Moskovitz AT&T Info. Systems attunix!howard

For special events, you should be able to call MTV, Inc. in New York City and ask them. They may still have a (900) info number as well. Of course, you'll never find out when particular (ordinary) videos will air, since the last thing they want is for you to turn MTV on just for the particular videos *you* want to see! --Lauren--

Systems > attunix!howard There is no such possiblity. I was in a band that had a video in light rotation and we were unable to ever find out when it was to be aired. My poor mother inundated herself with the likes of Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, etc... in hopes of seeing her little boy banging his head on a guitar. We had better luck with Night Trax, Night Flight and others. Sorry. -todd jones
