Camp MTV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1989 television special

Camp MTV is a 6-hour special[1] (including commercials and music videos) produced byMTV that aired on that channel Sunday, July 30, 1989. MTV's then-current personalities invadedCamp Scatico, a brother-sistersleep-away camp in Columbia County of New York state. During the special, the filmUHF, which was about to be released byOrion Pictures, was promoted. It was the brainchild of executiveDoug Herzog, who was the vice president of programming at the time. Scatico was chosen because Herzog attended the camp during the 1970s.[2]
