Billboard , the American Magazine covering the Music Industry , said in a cover story that Video Concert Hall was the first ever nationwide video music programming on cable television. Video Concert Hall creators Charles Henderson and Jerry Crowe are considered the "fathers" of television's video music programming. Video Concert Hall ran daily on USA Network from 1978 to 1981 on a seemingly arbitrary schedule, appearing on early morning, daytime, late night, and early evening timeslots alike for durations ranging from one to four hours. Video Concert Hall was also carried on another cable/satellite network, the Satellite Program Network - SPN, and was seen worldwide on AFRTS , the Armed Forces Network, and frequently as video entertainment on commercial Airline flights. The theme music for Video Concert Hall was the first thirty seconds of "Carouselambra" by Led Zeppelin . Specific to no particular pop music genre, Video Concert Hall featured New Wave Music , Punk Rock , Disco , Funk , Soul , and Album-oriented Rock . Particularly important about Video Concert Hall is not only to note its historical significance in the evolution of music video television programming, but that it is also where artists such as The Police (with Sting), Split Enz, and Gary Numan were first introduced to the American audience en masse.
