On August 31, 1984, the Canadian music video channel MuchMusic made its debut, revolutionizing the way music was consumed in Canada. As the country’s answer to MTV, MuchMusic quickly became a cultural staple for music lovers. The first video ever played on the channel was “The Enemy Within” by the iconic Canadian rock band Rush, setting the tone for what would become a powerful platform for artists and fans alike.

This day marks the beginning of a new era in Canadian music television, where MuchMusic played a crucial role in shaping the music landscape and influencing generations.
