This show changed my life - introduced me to music I wasn't hearing on the Radio. I'd love to see the old episodes again, but maybe they are lost forever? I'm dating myself, because I remember them reviewing the new Roxy Music album, Avalon. I think the first music video I ever saw was Tommy Gun by the Clash.

FM Moving Pictures on Shaw, with Mike Bezzeg, and sometimes James Muretich:

James had a hand in shaping my musical development – as he did for many young music enthusiasts in Calgary in the early 1980s – through the weekly community cable television broadcast FM Moving Pictures, which he co-hosted with Mike Bezzeg. They played videos from bands like Ultravox and XTC when music videos were still a relatively new development – MuchMusic didn’t begin broadcasting until 1984. I was just starting to break out from my parents’ folk roots and trying to figure out my own musical tastes, and this clinched it for me.
