MuchMusic was known for its on-air hosts, called VJs (video jockeys), who introduced the music videos, interviewed Canadian and international musical guests, and explored the latest trends and tastes in popular music. Here’s what a few former VJs had to tell us about their time at the ”nations music station".

One way you can tell something matters is by how much you miss it. Have you had that experience where you know you were beyond lucky to be a part of something truly meaningful? A movement where shareholder value wasn’t just about money. I have been so privileged to work so many alleys in this busted up town of a media business. But no matter where I go, MuchMusic comes up. Even by those who were way too young to be watching the videos I was spinning late at night. Ha. Of course it deserves a stamp. If you are reading this and didn’t grow up in Canada, MuchMusic was a cultural phenomenon that pulsed through the lives of Canadian youth and beyond. It was a communal experience that still resonates with those it spoke to. Lots of us who worked there or came down to the environment to be part of it or who watched from the different corners of the country all felt connected. It was a television version of the Canadian Pacific Railway without the indentured servitude. Also a big shout to the producers and camera people who were in the trenches with us VJs. I’m off to the post office to get mine.
MuchMusic redefined the way a generation of Canadians engaged with music. This week, we will be celebrating “the nation’s music station,” a cultural phenomenon whose impact is still felt 40 years after it first hit the airwaves. Tune in all week to hear from some of the VJs, crew, artists, and fans as they relive their memories of the iconic institution, ahead of the unveiling of the stamps honouring MuchMusic and MusiquePlus on Thursday, October 10. Did you ever visit the #MuchMusic studios? Share your story with us in the comments!

Established in 1986, at a time when few French-language Quebec music videos existed, MusiquePlus encouraged Quebec artists to produce videos of their new songs and increased their exposure, giving a generation a new way to discover and interact with their favourite francophone and international artists. The lively, colourful stamp illustration depicts the iconic building that housed MusiquePlus in Montréal, drawn from the perspective of the cheering crowd that would regularly gather outside the station.

The energetic on-air hosts, called VJs , conducted informal, sometimes spontaneous interviews with their musical guests and relayed questions from the public, connecting the artists to their fans. Performances were taped in the downtown Montréal studio in front of an audience, and more fans jammed the street in front of the large windows for a glimpse of their idols. Listen as a few of these hosts tell us about their memories from MusiquePlus.
