Alesia: Ground Zero

Ground Zero was a late night Australian music show on Network Ten that featured music videos and live appearances. It aired from 1997 to 2001 and was initially directed by Bernie Zelvis and was hosted by Jade Gatt, Ugly Phil and Jackie O. By 1999 the program was no longer filmed in a studio and was instead shot on various locations across Sydney and Melbourne. With the structural change also came a change of host with Nick Benett, Fiona Horne and Rod Cuddihy presenting the show during 1999 and 2000. Although ill fated, it is remembered as being one of the early television programs in Australia to feature an internet presence during its early years.
