Dave Kendall, who created and hosted MTV’s 120 Minutes, has died, according to his friend and former MTV colleague Matt Pinfield. Pinfield did not disclosed a cause or date of death, nor was Kendall’s age immediately available. “Dave was one of the true believers,” Pinfield wrote on X. “Long before alternative music found its way into the mainstream, he was there every week on 120 Minutes, introducing people to bands that would go on to define an era. He didn’t just host a show. He gave a home to music that deserved to be heard.
