Station Zero
Station Zero is an American daily adult animated series that aired on MTV for one season in 1999, airing Monday through Friday at 6:30 pm.[1] The show followed a group of four kids who ran a fictional public-access television show called Live from the Bronx, where they watched hip hop videos and critiqued them in a similar manner as that of Beavis and Butt-head. It was based on A View From Da' Unda'Ground, a comic strip from the same team which ran in The Source from 1991–1994.[2]
