Alternative Nation was a television show in the U.S. dedicated to alternative music. It aired on MTV from 1992 to 1997, mostly on weeknights. It was hosted by Kennedy.
[edit] History
Alternative Nation began airing in 1992.[1] It was a somewhat more mainstream version of sister-show 120 Minutes. While the latter aired videos by more diverse artists, such as The Jesus and Mary Chain, Bronski Beat, New Order, The Replacements, The Verve, Weezer, Robyn Hitchcock, and Butthole Surfers, Alternative Nation focused primarily on the alternative hits of the day, including songs by Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Oasis.
With the launch of MTV Czech in late 2009, Alternative Nation has been revived and brought back on air. The show has been airing on the channel regularly ever since and uses the same presentation as it initially did in the U.S. The only difference is the show on MTV Czech is presented in 16:9 picture format, how it was originally produced, and doesn't have a fixed timeslot - switching between 5PM, 11PM, 1AM and 5AM in the morning.
