City TV Toronto Rocks promo 1984

From Wikipedia:
Toronto Rocks was an hour-long television program presenting music videos on CITY-TV in Toronto, Canada in the 1980s, starting in 1984. It aired live at 16:00 weekdays and was initially hosted by John Majhor. Majhor was a longtime DJ at 1050 CHUM AM in Toronto and eventually became one of Canada's first "VJs" with the development of music videos. Toronto Rocks was a predecessor to MuchMusic and MTV, and had kids rushing home from school every day to catch their favourite videos of the early 80's.
Sadly John Majhor passed away in 2006

This is the late John Majhor (died Jan 07). Not JD Roberts.

Yes, I indicated that in the tags

@Etobeeshawn It was only a 1/2 hour show. I remember rushing home from school to watch Thriller (1984) debut, and they could only play 2 other videos because Thriller was so long.

RIP John and Aldo.......

For some reason I always thought Toronto Rocks made its debut before 1984. Every source I come across says it debuted in '84. And I thought TR was a 1 hour show. Can somebody confirm to me if TR debuted before '84 or is my memory becoming more fuzzy and when did they extend the show another half hour. I thought I knew for sure that the show started at 4:00 for 1 hour but I don't know now. I remember Toronto Rocks from 4-5 and Video Hits on CBC from 5-530

@sweiland75 I think he was actually a DJ on Q107 or Chum FM....

@Fibr3Optix He did, but only as fill-in. He also hosted NewMusic and the first MuchMusic shows.

I thought JD Roberts (now on CNN moring) did this show in the 80s?

[sweiland75]

I don't remember anyone named John Mahjor on MuchMusic.

John Majhor was the bomb and Toronto Rocks was an amazing show. That studio they shot that in was like having a camera in my closet. :)

Toronto Rocks and CityLimits were 80% of my teen years. (I still have my Toronto sweatshirt from when they did giveaways at the live Toronto Rocks shows at the CNE...we saw Bowie...)
