In case you like me skipped past the news channel because you couldn't bear the idea - don't. It's not actually news. In fact, it's the best channel of all.

Wow I haven't watched TV in so long that I've forgotten what it's like to watch things that aren't algorithmically chosen for me.
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did -- I'll probably leave it up on my 2nd monitor while I'm working tomorrow. Especially the news and teh pr0n. Thanks!

I found myself entranced by the K-POP channel... I don't even typically listen to K-POP. I kept waiting for one to drop with a beat I didn't like? And it just didn't happen. Also, watching dance videos without my brain processing the lyrics is super soothing. Plus, some of the set designs and outfits! Man.
The faith channel gave me this. The wood channel, Goku. I'm... in love? Thank you so much.

Are they all sound-free or am I missing/blocking something?

You're missing or blocking something. Possibly the crossed-out-speaker button, bottom right corner.

Does anyone recognize the guy with the impressive music playing machines? They look like Linotype or similar typesetting machines. Who is he?

Tuned into Channel 3. It was Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. “Banjo.”
So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

is this the right place to note that I'm exactly old enough to have seen the world premiere of Space Ghost (the original Saturday morning cartoon)? It was a Saturday morning in the 1960s and I was finally old enough to be abandoned in front of the TV.
I loved it.

In case anybody else is having trouble doing the same thing, there's a Source link in the bottom left corner of every channel's page.

I've found that on my ipad, the source link and volume controls are not visible. So if you want to hear as well as see these things, don't use an ipad!

I'm a little sad that FAITH is gone and replaced with GAME NIGHT, even though the game looks kinda neat.
