Night Flight resurrected? Well sorta. In July of
2001, DirecTV started airing Midnight Rider. Created
by Night Flight originator Stuart Shapiro, Midnight
Rider was similar to Night Flight but only shown on
Pay-per-view partially because of its adult content.
Midnight Rider was a 2 hour show featuring standup
comics, animation and of course music videos and was
narrated by Night Flight veteran, Pat Prescott.
Apparently the show didn't do too well because less
than a year later, in June of 2002, their web site
(www.midnightrider.tv)
was gone and a Best
Of Midnight Rider was being released to video
stores.
