In the early 1980s not everyone had cable TV. In Los Angeles a sort of new wave American Bandstand was the alternative to cable's MTV. It was called MV3.
This syndicated music video show featured (1) the latest music videos as a backdrop to (2) local dancers and (3) lip synched performances by artists such as X, The Plimsouls, Lords Of The New Church, Oingo Boingo, Berlin, The Bangles, Missing Persons, English Beat, Thomas Dolby, Psychedelic Furs, Adam Ant etc.; artists that were currently being played on KROQ (Los Angeles).
Three hosts included then KROQ DJ, Richard Blade, "comedian?" David Maples, and "actress?" Karen Scott.
Trivia: Blade and some of the regular dancers also appeared in an episode of "Square Pegs". Bret Easton Ellis mentions MV3 in his book "Less Than Zero".

God I hated these MV3 fools. These clowns didn't have a clue to what reggae,Mod,and skinhead was all about. I was the only true one at my school and these posers pissed me off. I recognize one of the girls there though. She went to Temple City High.
Karen Scott was SO hott! MV3 was for those of us (mainly all of So Cal) who didnt have cable. I think it was channel 9??? Makes me want a Djarum Super!
You're right, it was on channel 9. Commericials for KROQ & Leo's Stereo and Federated followed. MV3 ended and Video One started with Richard Blade hosting. And if I'm not mistaken, he did marry Karen Scott.
Djarum Supers are what got me into my smoking problem in the first place! Spent all of my parer route money on them, and now I'm a 42 year old smoker!
