Remember the old skits 93.3 ran about some hayseed farmer reminiscing about the time the Cure came to his town? Fuck, those were hilarious. Too bad 93.3 doesn't exist anymore. Much like Teletunes.
Only the most awesome music video show ever! It ran on channel 12 in Denver for almost 20 years and started BEFORE MTV! It turned on thousands of disaffected Colorado youth all kinds of alternative rock! Everything from Peter Gabriel to Front 242 to Public Enemy.
Watching Teletunes was an integral part of the Colorado Generation X experience, along with Casa Bonita, The Warlock Pinchers, listening to KTCL before they were bought and ruined forever by Clear Channel, Blinky's Fun Club, making fun of Jake Jabbs commercials, etc.
This blog hopes to capture the thrills of watching teletunes back in the day with plenty of videos found off youtube and other hosting sites. Please feel free to contact us with anything you think should be on here!
