 * 6.20 pm Riverside Seagulls on the Cable. All the charisma of a used Kleenex says the British music press. but Liverpool band A Flock of Seagulls don't mind too much: they've still sold over a million copies of their first album and they're doing rather well in the USA. Steve Blacknell went to New York with them and took the chance to find out about cable television. Riverside presents a complete guide to New York's 27 channels, and takes a closer look at one of them, Music Television (MTV), the world's first 24-hour pop television channel. We catch some of the New Year celebrations on MTV when A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS shared the top billing with Duran Duran.
