History
The early years 120 Minutes began on March 10, 1986.[1] For the first ten years of 120 Minutes, viewers could see artists as varied as The Jesus and Mary Chain, Bronski Beat, New Order, The Verve, Weezer, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, KMFDM, Kate Bush, The Ramones, XTC, Morrissey, Kitchens of Distinction, They Might Be Giants, and Hüsker Dü. Nirvana's music video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit", received a world premiere on 120 Minutes, but soon proved so popular that the channel began to air it during its regular daytime rotation. For a time in the mid-1990s, a companion program called Alternative Nation aired every weeknight on MTV. is the 69th day of the year (70th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

From MTV to MTV2 As time went on, and MTV found shows like The Real World immensely profitable, the show found its time slot pushed further back. As this was happening, the show's playlist was becoming more and more mainstream, playing the likes of Sum 41 and Staind, and the show was more frequently preempted (usually without any warning) for reruns of The Real World and Undressed before being removed from the airwaves in the summer of 2000. In 2001, the show returned to the airwaves on MTV2, where it returned to the style of music it was known for.[2] For the upcoming season, see The Real World: Hollywood. ...
