Martha Quinn is an American actress and radio and television personality, best known as one of the original video jockeys on MTV (along with Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and J. J. Jackson).
- Mark Goodman. Mark Goodman was already an experienced radio DJ when he landed the MTV VJ job after two auditions — including one where he mock interviewed a staffer standing in an “obnoxious Billy Joel,” he told Gothamist.
- Martha Quinn. Just 22 years old when she landed the job, Martha Quinn had done commercials in college, but more impressively, had a depth of music knowledge.
- Alan Hunter. When MTV first hit the airwaves, the first face that viewers saw was Alan Hunter’s. But that wasn’t exactly the plan — there was a tape mishap and the original segment didn’t quite sync up, so there Hunter was, welcoming the world to the concept of music television.
- J.J. Jackson. Jackson perhaps had the most experience before becoming a VJ, having started in radio in Boston and Los Angeles in the 1960s and then working as a music reporter for KABC-TV in L.A.
