The O-Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The O-Zone was a weekly music magazine show broadcast on BBC Two from 1989-2000. Originally presented by Andy Crane until 1990 and originally only shown during school holidays and Sunday mornings during the winter months on CBBC. It was then followed by CBBC presenters Andi Peters, Philippa Forrester, Toby Anstis and Zoe Ball by 1992, the show was on every week on a Sunday throughout the year. The show got a makeover in 1995 and Jayne Middlemiss and Jamie Theakston presented the show for the rest of its run. There was also a spin-off series, The Pop Zone shown in 1998.

In October 2000, The show was replaced by Top of the Pops Plus which had already been on UK Play. That programme was axed in 2001.
