I watched the hell out of that channel. I was always a little nervous that charges were going to show up on my parent's cable bill though.

Local UHF station played it. Supposedly requests were taken .
I never bothered with that.

I looked it up and it started in Miami and became a cable channel around the US but not in every city.
Damn, makes me wonder if David Lucas' family owned the box.

I had a neighbor win a contest from The Box. Got a Snoop Dogg designed Cadillac, had hydraulics and an awesome sound system.

Absolutely nothing
It was on in New Orleans and just about every other decent-sized city

The first music video I ever saw was Get Your Roll On by Big Tymers and it was on The Box. When my parents saw me watching that I was grounded for 2 weeks.
The Box was the GOAT.

I remember there being multiple Box channels for different music genres. My roommates and I would get really high and watch Box Pulse, which was a weird alternative music channel.
A few songs I remember
Cassius 1999
Playboy Playgirl
Bad Girl
Superthruster

This right here and real muthaphukin Gs by Eazy E.
Grew up in Chalmette and we didn’t have it on cable but my friend was able to somehow pick it up as a regular channel. Was awesome. Then moved to BR in 98 and always had it on.
