Alan Hunter MTV

In the early summer of 1981, he bumped into MTV exec Bob Pittman at a picnic in Central Park. A month later, Hunter was tapped to join the fledgling MTV, only three weeks prior to its blast off.MTV went on the air on August 1, 1981, at midnight in selected markets across America. Hunter was, by technical snafu, the first VJ to appear on the screen, with the words “Hi, I’m Alan Hunter. I’ll be with you right after Mark. We’ll be covering the latest in music news, coast to coast, here on MTVMusic Television.” And then the other original VJs – Martha Quinn, J.J. Jackson, Nina Blackwood, and Mark Goodman – followed. During his first month with MTV, he kept his regular night job tending bar at New York’s Magic Pan Restaurant Cabaret. When a customer recognized him, he determined it was time to become a full-time MTV VJ. Hunter was also heavily involved in the WWF-MTV collaboration, hosting The War to Settle the Score live special on MTV with Gene Okerlund. He also conducted backstage interviews for the show. Hunter also narrated The War Continues, a special produced by MTV that was used to help promote Wrestlemania in March 1985. In his latter MTV years, Hunter became known for his remotes and road trips in such iconic and pioneering MTV programmings as MTV Spring Break, MTV’s Amuck in America, and MTV’s Hedonism Weekend with Bon Jovi in Jamaica.
