H.I.P. H.O.P. was France's very first television show to be dedicated to the hip hop culture. It was broadcast each Sunday afternoon on the French national channel TF1 in 1984, for 43 weeks. The host was Sidney along with the Paris City Breakers. They had guests such as Sugarhill Gang, Kurtis Blow, Futura 2000, Afrika Bambaataa and The Rock Steady Crew. However, Michael Holman, host of Graffiti Rock, claims to be the very first person to broadcast a nationwide, Hip Hop TV Show called Graffiti Rock. However, years before, in 1982, Holman aired on New York Cable TV two much earlier shows that were dedicated to Hip Hop Culture called "On Beat" and "TV New York." Both these shows beat both H.I.P. H.O.P. and Graffiti Rock by at least two years and featured Hip Hop artists such as: Fab 5 Freddy, DJ High Priest, The New York City Breakers, Phase II, Futura, DJ Jazzy Joyce, K-Rob & Tim Single.
