Jukebox Network

Encyclopedia : J : JU : JUK : Jukebox Network

The Jukebox Network was a cable and satellite television service which allowed their viewers the ability to dial a telephone number enter a code and the latest or a classic music video that was requested was played on their TV. At first all of the Jukebox request lines used a large block of Miami, Florida telephone numbers and callers were only charged for a long distance call, However realizing that they needed to make money Jukebox switched to the pay-per call 1-900 line service in which callers were charged from $1.99 to $3.99 per call to make a request of up to three videos.

The company was acquired by MTV Networks and Jukebox's programming was replaced with a new channel called MTV2.
