Why Defunct TV Channels are Overrated

Everybody pining over dead channels like they lost their first-born or something. Ain't nobody remembered 'em til they were gone. Besides, with all the streaming options we got, who needs cable? Cable was a scam with their bundles of channels no one watched. Cutting the cord was the best decision …

Remember Channel One News from school?

Anyone's school had Channel One News playing in the classroom? That 12-minute news broadcast for teens was like my daily educational dose lol. Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling were on that before they got big. Now that's history! Wondering how many schools still got something like that or if it's …

VHS Tapes of the Obscure U62 Channel

Hey fellow TV historians! I've managed to score a box of old VHS tapes at a yard sale and some of them have recordings from the U62 channel! It's like a time capsule - local commercials, amateurish sitcoms, and midnight B-movie specials. I'm in the process of digitizing them. Would …

Stale Take: MTV still plays music

lol seeing ppl here mourn old channels like they were pure gold. Heard of MTV? Haha, that channel DIED when it stopped playing music. RIP real MTV, everything else is just reality show rubbish. 😂 Guess the ‘M’ now stands for 'Meh' amirite???

Kids' WB, a lost treasure

Super nostalgic about Kids' WB. Can never forget those Saturday morning cartoon marathons. 'Jackie Chan Adventures', 'Xiaolin Showdown' - they don't make 'em like that anymore. It sucks how streaming's kinda buried that whole experience. Nothing beat the hype of waiting a whole week for your fav show to air.

The Rise and Fall of ZOOM! Network

Let's take a moment to appreciate the ambitious but short-lived ZOOM! Network, y'all remember? Launched in the early 2000s, it carved a niche by focusing on extreme sports and adventure programming. Top draw was 'Adrenaline Rush Hour' which became a cult hit for its insane coverage of parkour in urban …

UPN and The WB, these were the real MVPs

Every 90s kid will tell ya, UPN and The WB shaped our tastes. Buffy, Roswell, SmackDown!, Moesha... these were more than just shows; they were our weeknight hangout seshs. Kinda miss those simple days when TV actually defined our social lives.

Exploring The N: A forgotten treasure in the era of teen drama

As a connoisseur of defunct TV networks, one that stands out in my memory is 'The N'. Initially a nighttime programming block on Noggin, this channel was a pioneer for teen shows. Not many remember, but 'The N' was home to shows like 'Degrassi: The Next Generation' which tackled hard-hitting …

The Hub Network, gone too soon

imo The Hub was ahead of its time. They actually had good shows like Transformers Prime and My Little Pony which got popular even with adults. It's like they couldn't catch a break. Now my niece has no idea what I'm talkin about when I bring it up lol.

The rise and fall of G4 - An autopsy of a gamer's haven

Just remembered ZDTV... TechTV nostalgia

Anyone else miss the old ZDTV which later became TechTV? Those were the days man. Screensavers, Extended Play, Fresh Gear. Leo Laporte and all. They made tech so fun and accessible especially when the internet was still a baby. Miss those simpler times y'all.

CITV

My favorite childhood channel to see. Ended forever on September 1, 2023. The shows that aired here were pretty familiar.
