Caught Episode 3 of Ralph McDaniel’s new music video show, The Bridge, last night. Wish I would have found out about this sooner. The segment was titled “Classic Storytellers” and it featured a lot of rare videos, all in great quality and with informative pop ups like that vh1 show. My personal favorite was Fearless Four’s Problems Of The World Today, I never knew there was a video for that song. The show premiered on December 24th and plays every Saturday at 11pm. I’m looking forward to the next nine episodes. And although I make it sound like it’s Ralph McDaniel’s show, I don’t really know the depth of his involvement. But it’s good to see him on tv introducing videos again, especially with the formal support of New York City. Link to NYCTV site [Show your support and maybe they'll film another season! email: thebridge@doitt.nyc.gov]
update 1/10/06: Paul Barman (MC Paul Barman?) interviews Ralph McDaniels for the Village Voice and points us to the nyctv stream for non-new yorkers
i think i caught the 1st or second episode. they were playing better stuff than video music box (which is still on the air)
McDaniels is involved and takes EP creds but the real brains behind the show are the shows creators and hsow-runners: Trevor Scotland and Arick Wierson. Matthew Tollin is alos listed as an EP.

Hello Ralph my name is Craig and I go waaay back to the early 80′s when hip hop was true love and the neighborhood could identify with those that were spittin on the radios and in the parks then. I’m writing you because I want to know how or if I can obtain copies of your current show THE BRIDGE or even those shows my friends and I grew up on back when video musicbox first was on the air from like ’84-’95. My phone number is 347-635-0251 or 347-642-5588. I like to get as many episodes as I can mainly for entertaining my friends at gettogethers. I’m from Springfield gardens Queens.
