MTV began its annual Spring break coverage in 1986,
setting up temporary operations in Daytona Beach, Florida,
for a week in March, broadcasting live eight hours per day.
"Spring break is a youth culture event", MTV's vice president
Doug Herzog said at the time. "We wanted to be part of it for
that reason. It makes good sense for us to come down and go live
from the center of it, because obviously the people there are the
kinds of people who watch MTV."
After Fort Lauderdale started discouraging college students from vacationing there for Spring break in the mid-1980s, Daytona Beach, Florida mayor Larry Kelly appeared on national television to encourage college vacationers to come to Daytona Beach for Spring break instead. Soon after, beer and cigarette brands started advertising in Daytona Beach for Spring break. He later called that decision a mistake as locals experienced many problems during Spring break every year. Kelly's efforts to rein in the revelry included promoting athletic competitions called "Spring Games" to channel youthful energy in a wholesome direction, and proposing that hotels be billed for the cost of sending police to respond to calls during Spring break. Soon after he lost his election bid in 1993, Daytona cut ties with MTV.
Shock G and the rest of Digital Underground's TV appearances include
MTV Spring Break 1990 in Daytona Beach. Also in 1990,
Chad Smith and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers were arrested
after filming an MTV Spring Break performance. They sexually
harassed a 20-year-old woman during their show, after Flea walked
into the crowd and carried her away.
