Midnight Love is a late-night music video block on the BET network that originally aired from 1985 until 2005.[1] The show's creator, Alvin Jones, occasionally in voiceover, alongside various music artists. It showcased music videos of R&B/Soul ballads and Quiet Storm songs (Slow Jams).
BET's former VJ/Producer Alvin "THE UNSEEN VJ" Jones was one of the producers of the show. Occasionally, there was a request line where viewers could request their favorite video. Throughout the years Jones was host, there were captions showing that viewers were able to write to the network (in care of Midnight Love) if they wanted to dedicate or request a video to a loved one. By 1992, a 1-900 request line was created for the viewers. In 1994, the dedication line was expanded. Although the show was cancelled in 2005, it was reformed under a new name, BET After Dark. Captain Paul Porter (also "then" host of Video Vibrations) hosted the show for a few years, as well as Sherry Carter.
