Musi-Video show was a Music television series which ran in Canada between 1980 and 1984 on Community television. It was a very early example of the format that later would be adopted by the creation of MTV and MuchMusic.

It was the creation of Marc Fontaine, who was also behind the new wave pop group Nudimension. Recorded in Montreal, it featured early 1980s music artists playing live in a studio and early music videos. ^[1]

In 2008 the Musi-Video brand was revived as a Music publishing label by Marc Fontaine.
