Originally part of Drop-In, and then scheduled as a summer show, Video 1, a public affairs magazine for high school age viewers, extended into the regular season. Its original host was Ian McCutcheon, but he was replaced by Rainer Schwartz, formerly the overnight disk jockey on CHUM-FM and one of the principal voices of alternative FM programming in Canada. The program marked itself as different from the conventional, pussyfooting kids' show when its first broadcast of the regular season was devoted to advice about contraception.
