It was definitely on before the 'Past Present & Future' documentary, but, yeah, it was possibly on before the 'Factory' special too.
I only have the intro for 'PP&F' though and that goes:
'And now a special on New Order, "Past, Present & Future", but please note that this programme was made before the demise of Factory Records'.
I'm not sure how long 'Post-Modern' was on MTV Europe for, but don't think it was around for very long. I always remember it being presented by Pip Dann and I seem to think that '120 Minutes' was also on during the same period. So, it wasn't like it replaced '120 Minutes'.
If I recall correctly, it was a little less hardcore than '120 Minutes' or, especially, 'Alternative Nation'.
Whilst you were likely to get Husker Du, Pixies and Nine Inch Nails on those programmes, you were more likely to get the 'pop' side of 'alternative' on 'Post-Modern'. Think New Order, Devo, Sparks or Talking Heads.
That's how I remember the programme anyway, but I may be completely wrong (it was 27 years ago, after all).
