[[HBO]] also had a 30-minute program of music videos called ''[[Video Jukebox (TV series)|Video Jukebox]]'', that first aired around the time of MTV's launch and lasted until late 1986. Also around this time, HBO, as well as other premium channels such as [[Cinemax]], [[Showtime (TV channel)|Showtime]] and [[The Movie Channel]], occasionally played one or a few music videos between movies.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://populartimelines.com/timeline/HBO/full#668d29a6b8747:~:text=1980%3A%20InterMissions%20Divided%20into%20Categories |access-date=2024-07-09 |website=Popular Timelines |title=History of HBO in Timeline|date=April 15, 2019 }}</ref>

[[TBS (American TV channel)|SuperStation WTBS]] launched ''[[Night Tracks]]'' on June 3, 1983, with up to 14 hours of music video airplay each late night weekend by 1985. Its most noticeable difference was that black artists that MTV initially ignored received airplay. The program ran until the end of May 1992.

[[Playboy TV]] launched their own music video program called "Playboy's Hot Rocks" that premiered on July 15, 1983 featuring uncensored versions of music videos that were shown in nightclubs by artists from Duran Duran and Mötley Crüe to Nine Inch Nails and 2Pac. At times, they would do a certain theme like the all [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] theme on the channel back in the 90s.

A few markets also launched music-only channels including Las Vegas' KRLR-TV (now [[KSNV]]), which debuted in the summer of 1984 and branded as "Vusic 21". The first video played on that channel was "Video Killed the Radio Star", following in the footsteps of MTV.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}

Shortly after TBS began ''Night Tracks'', [[NBC]] launched a music video program called ''[[Friday Night Videos]]'', which was considered network television's answer to MTV. Later renamed simply ''Friday Night'', the program ran from 1983 to 2002. ABC's contribution to the music video program genre in 1984, ''[[ABC Rocks]]'', was far less successful, lasting only a year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303417/|title="ABC Rocks" 1984|publisher=IMDb|access-date=March 12, 2012|archive-date=March 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308073620/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303417/|url-status=live}}</ref>

TBS founder [[Ted Turner]] started the [[Cable Music Channel]] in 1984, designed to play a broader mix of music videos than MTV's rock format allowed. But after one month as a money-losing venture, Turner sold it to MTV, who redeveloped the channel into VH1.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Monopoly Television: MTV's Quest to Control the Music, pp. 48–50|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cbYcUkfUbTkC&q=%22cable%20music%20channel%22&pg=PA48|publisher=Westview Press|isbn=978-0-8133-1821-9|author1=Banks, Jack|date=April 1996}}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The founders of [[Financial News Network]], Glenn Taylor and Karen Tyler tried to capitalize on the concept by launching Discovery Music Network, which was set to be a cable network,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Potts |first=Mark |date=1984-08-10 |title=2 More Music Channels Planned |language=en-US |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1984/08/10/2-more-music-channels-planned/5ed448b9-fe1b-45af-a7ab-678390d2e21e/ |access-date=2023-09-16 |issn=0190-8286 |archive-date=August 28, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828105344/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1984/08/10/2-more-music-channels-planned/5ed448b9-fe1b-45af-a7ab-678390d2e21e/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and has plans to set up the Discovery Broadcasting System, which consists of the aforementioned network, along with computer and business networks,<ref>{{Cite news |date=December 17, 1984 |title=Cablecastings |pages=28 |work=[[Broadcasting & Cable|Broadcasting]] |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/84-OCR/BC-1984-12-17-OCR-Page-0028.pdf |access-date=September 16, 2023 |archive-date=October 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231010180118/https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/84-OCR/BC-1984-12-17-OCR-Page-0028.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> but it never got off the ground.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-01-14 |title=Ted Turner Made an MTV Competitor That Died After Only a Month |url=https://tedium.co/2023/01/11/ted-turner-cable-music-channel-history/ |access-date=2023-09-16 |website=Tedium: The Dull Side of the Internet. |language=en |archive-date=October 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231004201131/https://tedium.co/2023/01/11/ted-turner-cable-music-channel-history/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Shortly after its launch, the [[Disney Channel]] aired a program called ''[[D-TV|DTV]]'', a play on the MTV acronym. The program used music cuts, both from past and upcoming artists. Instead of music videos, the program used clips of various vintage [[Disney]] cartoons and animated films (from ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' to ''[[The Fox and the Hound]]'') to go with the songs. The program aired in multiple formats, sometimes between shows, sometimes as its own program, and other times as one-off specials. The specials tended to air both on the Disney Channel and [[NBC]]. The program aired at several times between 1984 and 1999. In 2009, Disney Channel revived the ''DTV'' concept with a new series of short-form segments called ''Re-Micks''.

[[Hanna-Barbera]] created ''[[HBTV]]'', similar to ''DTV'' in 1985 and in 1986.
