The title "Video View" had previously been used for an unrelated programme that aired as part of the magazine show Night Network (1987). Rather than focussing on movies, this earlier "Video View" featured a presenter joined by two contemporary pop stars, judging new music video releases.
The series aired on different days around the various ITV regions, but debuted each week in the Thames region.
Although cited as airing on Tuesday nights, the start time of the programme in the London area was post-midnight (usually 1am for the first two years, and 12:30am for the third) meaning it technically premiered on the Wednesday.
