Night Tracks is an American music video television program that aired on TBS in late night on Fridays and Saturdays[1] from June 3, 1983 to May 30, 1992. Created and produced by Thomas W. Lynch and Gary Biller through Night Tracks, Inc. (a production label of Lynch/Biller Productions until 1991, and successor Lynch Entertainment thereafter) and distributed by Turner Program Services, the program was developed to capitalize on the burgeoning popularity of the music video medium after MTV helped bring it into the mainstream following its debut in October 1981.
The series was one of several music video showcase programs that made their debut on American broadcast and cable television during the 1980s in the wake of MTV's rise into the pop culture zeitgeist, including two others that premiered in 1983: NBC's Friday Night Videos and USA Network's Radio 1990.
