I bought a lot of vhs tapes from eBay recently and one of them had an episode of Advance Warning in it. It features Val Emmich, Dwele and Ima Robot. I’ll have it uploaded on archive.org in the next couple days.

Hey sorry, I'm just seeing this now. But that's awesome news, thanks so much for sharing! I'll be sure to update the OP with the archive link.
Just updated the OP to include kenny's contribution.
Also, kenny's video includes the full credits for the show! So when I get the chance, I'll start trying to dig for any contact-info of those listed in the credits.
Talk about crazy timing, I just happened to notice right now that someone posted a clip on /r/ObscureMedia last month. This features a pop-punk band called Slick Shoes. Apparently it was uploaded to YouTube 9 years ago by one of the band members.
Though the most painful thing about this clip is that the first 10 seconds happen to be the ending of Lupe Fiasco's segment...which is my personal most-wanted one. Ugh, so close.
Do you know if this is a local show or a national show? And if it's local or syndicated, which cities did it air in?
This was a national show. (Well, technically it was international, with each country having their own unique episodes covering their own artists. But this thread is just regarding the American version). I don't know how often the episodes would air on MTV, but there seemed to be a new episode released once a month. And they were also made available to stream on MTV's website upon release.

Nice! I'll take it, even if it's just a fragmented clip.
Hello! I've been interested in Lost Media for quite a few years, and decided to finally join the community in order to try to find a very interesting lost series.
In the early/mid 2000s, MTV aired a series called "Advance Warning", where they would interview various upcoming musical artists that were brand-new to the industry and/or making waves in their local scene. They would also show a music video (or concert footage) from the artist, and even released 5 compilation CDs (one of which can be found here). Advance Warning even aired in various other countries (with different hosts covering their own local artists), becoming MTV's first international show.
The show aired from February 2003 - December 2005, with only one episode airing per month. And typically 4 or 5 artists were covered in each episode. But unfortunately, nearly all of the episodes seem to be lost. Below are a few clips that I've been able to find:
I've also found 3 videos covering various artists from international episodes (Yui from Japan, Dharma Down from the Philippines, and Durella from Nigeria). But I imagine finding all of the international episodes will be next to impossible, so I'm mostly just hunting for the American episodes for now.
But thanks to spending hours digging through the MTV archives via the Wayback Machine, I've at least been able to compile a list of the artists covered in nearly every episode! (note that there's a chance a few episodes are listed out of order, but I've done my best with what I was able to dig-up):
Episode 1 (February 2003) Kardinal Offshall, The Exies, Sahara Hotnights, The Raveonettes
Episode 2 (March 2003) Joe Budden, k-os, A.F.I., Jason Mraz
Episodes 3 - 12 (April 2003 - January 2004) Unfortunately I couldn't find any archive data for these episodes, but based on other data I was able to find, I do know that the following artists were covered (among many other artists): Lupe Fiasco, Brand New, Kanye West, Taking Back Sunday, Maroon 5, Elephant Man, Slick Shoes, Jin, Darcie Miner, Paloalto, Rooney, Spymob, Damone
Episode 8 (September 2003) Val Emmich, Kill Hannah, Ima Robot, Dwele Shout-out to kenny for uploading this episode! This seems to be from September 2003 (based on context-clues from the video), which should make it the 8th episode.
Episode 20 (September 2004) My Chemical Romance, Slim Thug, Matchbook Romance, Rupee, Rachael Yamagata, Keane, Jim Jones/The Diplomats, Hope of the States
Episode 21 (October 2004) Teedra Moses, Razorlight, Dangermouse/Jemini, John Legend
Episode 22 (November 2004) Lil Wyte, The Exit, The Zutons, The Explosion
Episode 23 (December 2004) TV on the Radio, Riddlin' Kids, The Dillenger Escape Plan, Nicole Wray
Episode 27 (April 2005) El Pus, Hot Hot Heat, Hawthorne Heights, Wakefield
Episode 28 (May 2005) Last Conservative, Da BackWudz, Bloc Party, Mando Diao
Episode 29 (June 2005) M.I.A., The Afters, Eisley
Episode 30 (July 2005) Senses Fail, Shout Out Louds, The Click Five, Paul Wall
Episode 31 (August 2005) Motion City Soundtrack, Don Omar, The Fray, Little Brother
Episode 32 (September 2005) Avenged Sevenfold, Jack's Mannequin, We Are Scientists, Hope Partlow
Episode 33 (October 2005) Augustana, Mewithoutyou, I Wayne, James Blunt
Episode 34 (November 2005) Rhymefest, Living Things, Ne-Yo, The Academy Is...
Episode 35 (December 2005) Armor For Sleep, Morningwood, Matiyahu, The 69 Eyes
The reason why I'm so interested in finding these episodes is because many of the artists went on to have very successful careers, and this would've been one of their first interviews before making it big. For example, Lupe Fiasco himself has recently said that this was his first interview ever (and even he can't find a copy of it). Or even the discovered Senses Fail interview, released about a year after their debut album, shows plenty of cool behind-the-scenes clips of their earliest touring days. Not only that, but there are also tons of artists that completely fell off the radar, so this series would've possibly been their only interview ever conducted.
Hopefully there are others out there that are interested in tracking-down this lost series, and I'll be sure to continue updating this thread as more information/clips are found!
Bump/necroing this because this topic is super interesting and I feel it needs more traction. Somewhat related question but could we confirm that there's also lost Total Request Live performances featuring some of these artists? I know for sure there's one from April 2004 of Lostprophets performing Last Train Home, but I would want to confirm other ones to drum up interest considering all the unfortunate (to say the VERY least) stuff related to that band.

Here's the source for the TRL Lostprophets performance, it was actually in March. This link has been archived on Wayback so don't worry about an MTV News situation happening with this. It's just a short, negative review from the time. No footage. Apologies if this is too off-topic. www.mcall.com/2004/03/13/lostprophets-start-something-sony/
Hey everyone, glad to see that this thread was bumped recently! Unfortunately I haven't found anything else on this in the past couple of years, though the last thing I had done is compile a list of everyone that was known to have worked on the show. It's a longshot that any of them would have copies of the series, but here's the list in case anyone ever feels like reaching out (from what I remember, a few of them had public LinkedIn pages).
Producer - Kelly deLace Perdomo Associate Producer - Jillian Haurbert Editor - Todd Feuer Music Liaison - Amy Doyle Director of MTV Soundtracks - Kevin Mangini Video Coordinator - Yomi Desalu Field Producer - Nelson Dellamaggiore Post Audio - Mike Barrett Line Producer - Michael Bandolik Production Coordinator - Chris Kaiser Camera - Todd Schoenberger Vice President Talent Development - Rod Aissa Manager Talent Development - Vinni Postestivo Production Accountant - Jef Hira Operations - Dorothy Holl Operations - Wendy Soffel Rights & Clearances - Dawn Saunders Rights & Clearances - Daniel Shaw MTV Communications - Eileen Quast Music & Talent Development - Michele Megan Dix Music & Talent Development - Jesse Ignjatovic Executive Producer - Tom Calderone
Plus given the recent news of MTV wiping-out their archives, it goes to show the importance of media retention & what this community is all about!

Would it be feasible to get in contact with some of the artists interviewed? If Slick Shoes had a copy from as recent as 2015, it may be possible some of the others have a copy as well, particularly the smaller bands.
