What is it?

Trouble was a british channel owned by the late Flextech that lasted between the years of 1997 and 2009. Well known for providing US & Australian shows to a younger youthful audience, such as Fresh Prince, Dawson's Creek, Moesha & That 70's Show.

When did you develop an interest to it and how?

I first heard of the channel back in summer of 2022, where I stumbled upon the only instance of the channel's continuity online, being a minute long. Since then, the whole concept of a channel built upon the more edgy and youthful Y2K era stuck.

Why does this interest me in general?

I think I found the whole concept of a channel geared towards teenagers very interesting as a channel like this only happens once within the era it was captivated within. The branding, whilst a bit messy in the era department was really bright and catched my attention. And the collage of lost shows that were produced and exclusively aired on the channel, such as Cruel Summer, Bump & Grind, and Trouble Radio feels all the more weird how a channel can have so much going for it's target audience, only to then be wiped away from history within a couple of years.
