There was a TV show in Australia called COUNTDOWN that aired between 1974 to 1987. The show's legacy is so important that it has become a big part of Australian culture (not that it was the best Aussie TV show at the time). However, every January episodes of COUNTDOWN gets replayed for the entire month on a show called RAGE (all night music program). I have managed to catch a few shows whilst in Australia and it is quite fascinating.
I managed to find this website that lists many of the programs that aired and reading through the play list, I found a great deal of NEW WAVE video clips listed - included XTC, Blondie, Japan, Cars and even more obscure acts from Canada and Europe!
CountDown was also the first non-European program to launch ABBA. Japan had their first hit 'Don't Rain On My Parade' in Australia due to being aired on CountDown. Blondie scored their first hit 'In The Flesh' in Australia due to the push of COUNTDOWN (remember, Blondie didn't officially chart in UK or US before 1978 and In The Flesh was 1977).
Other stupid little facts I know: Host Ian 'Molly' Meldrum persuaded Billy Idol to release 'Hot In the City' as a single. Molly punched Johnny Rotten after he flicked a lighten cigarette at the camera man. Bon Scott of AC/DC appeared in a school uniform in 1975 on COUNTDOWN.
