2001-2003[]
120 Minutes was revived on the newly-relaunched MTV2 in January 2001. It was often referred to onscreen as "120" during this period.
2011–2013[]
After the show's cancellation on MTV2, it was turned into an unhosted programming block of alternative videos on VH1 Classic (see below). This lasted until 2011 when it was replaced by a hosted series presented by Matt Pinfield, former host from 1995-1999. After this, the 120 Minutes programming block would return.
