[edit] So Fresh TV

Channel 9 aired So Fresh on TV from 2002 to 2006 and was filmed in the Sydney CBD. The hosts of the show, Dave and Elysia, would sometimes interview various artists. The show mainly played music videos of songs released recently. The series was cancelled in late 2006.

[edit] Other Trivia

So Fresh CDs often raise the ire of Australians trying to import them to music playing programs such as iTunes or Zune, as many of the older CDs register as the same name as newer CDs, meaning that many tracks from different discs are therefore considered to have come from one CD, and are therefore classified as such, lumping all music tracks from different CDs together under one listing, commonly 'so fresh disc 1'. This makes it almost impossible to tell which song came originally from which CD.
