He also did stints in Dublin on RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ television,[6] including a special on Gilbert O'Sullivan.[7] When the first dedicated pop station, RTÉ Radio Two (now branded 2FM), was started in 1979, he was one of its best-known DJs.[8][9] While in Dublin he shared accommodation with Charles Self.[10] In 1981, he moved to London to work for Capital Radio.[3] In 1984, he declined a lucrative offer to remain there and moved to New York City.[3] Hanley founded Green Apple Productions in 1983 with Conor McAnally, an RTÉ television producer and son of actor Ray McAnally. The company produced MT-USA (Music Television USA), a three-hour-long music video show modelled on the new American cable channel, MTV.[6] MT-USA was broadcast on RTÉ from 1984–87 on Sunday afternoons. Each block of videos was followed by a segment filmed in New York City with Hanley introducing the videos, discussing American music and culture, and interviewing a celebrity.[6] RTÉ described him as Europe's first VJ (video jockey).[3] In 1987, Hanley died shortly after his 33rd birthday.[1] He had been visibly ill for some time, and was rumoured to have an AIDS-related illness, which he denied.[11] This reflected the stigma then associated with the disease and with homosexuality in Ireland, which was not decriminalised until 1993.[12] The illness admitted by Hanley was congenital cerebral toxoplasmosis, described as an "eye disorder"; he was blind in one eye by his death.[9] Toxoplasmosis is very rarely fatal in adults who do not have a weakened immune system. In 2000, Hanley's friend and colleague Bill Hughes, who had himself come out in the 1990s, agreed that Hanley had in fact died of an AIDS-related illness.[12] The same year, the Sunday Tribune newspaper placed Hanley at the top of a list of Irish gay icons.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=Vincent Hanley: an appreciation |date=20 April 1987 |page=8 |work=The Irish Times |author="JB"}} {{2fm}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hanley, Vincent}}2. ^{{cite news |title=Broadcast News |url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2001/0721/01072100188.html|first=Máire |last=Kearney |date=21 July 2001 |page=46 |accessdate=18 October 2007 |work=The Irish Times }} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |work=Sunday Tribune |date=21 August 2000 |title=Irish gay icons |url=http://www.tribune.ie/article.tvt?_scope=TribuneFTF&id=38047&DT=20/08/2000%2000:00:00&keywords=vincent%20hanley |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071113171707/http://www.tribune.ie/article.tvt?_scope=TribuneFTF&id=38047&DT=20%2F08%2F2000%2000%3A00%3A00&keywords=vincent%20hanley |dead-url=yes |archive-date=13 November 2007 |accessdate=20 October 2007 |df=dmy }} 4. ^{{cite web |author=Richard Dwyer |url=http://forth.ie/index.php/content/article/back_to_the_1980s/ |title=Back to the 1980s? |date=10 December 2009 |accessdate=11 December 2009 |work=forth |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091213215942/http://forth.ie/index.php/content/article/back_to_the_1980s |archivedate=13 December 2009 |df=dmy-all }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gcn.ie/Jan_2009_Issue_229 |title=Jan 2009, Issue 229 |work=Gay Community News |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019080808/http://www.gcn.ie/Jan_2009_Issue_229 |deadurl=yes |date=January 2009 |archivedate=19 October 2013 |accessdate=9 May 2017 }} 6. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Green Apple now reaping the harvest |date=13 October 1987 |page=19 |work=The Irish Times }} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://homepage.eircom.net/~gilbertosullivan/tv_radio/tv_appearances.htm |archive-url=https://archive.is/20070420235400/http://homepage.eircom.net/~gilbertosullivan/tv_radio/tv_appearances.htm |dead-url=yes |archive-date=20 April 2007 |title=Gilbert O'Sullivan: Television Appearances |accessdate=18 October 2007 |quote=Me and My Music, RTÉ Television [Ireland].
