 "The" "First Annual American Video Awards" was hosted by radio personality Casey Kasem, and Kasem continued in his role as emcee of the show in succeeding years.
 The first (1983), second (1984) and third (April 1985) shows were syndicated to television channels across the country.

 The fifth (1987) show again aired in syndication.
 Two award ceremonies were held during 1985: the third annual ceremony was held in April 1985 and, because of contractual obligations to ABC, the fourth annual ceremony was held less than a year later, in November 1985.
