PostModern MTV

PostModern MTV

"PostModern MTV" was a nightly program in the late 80s and very early 90s on MTV, originally hosted by Dave Kendall featuring such pre-grunge "alternative" artists as The Cure, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and The Banshees, and Love and Rockets. The show was essentially a weeknight version of the Sunday night program "120 Minutes", with an emphasis on a more mainstream appeal.

After the departure of the original host, a reworked program entitled "Alternative Nation" was introduced, which followed a similar format and feel.
