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 and led to more discoveries.

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 and aethetic, whilst a bit messy in the first few years, was really bright and extremely unique for the time. Furthermore, the collage of lost shows that were produced and exclusively aired on the channel, such as Cruel Summer, Bump & Grind, and even it's own radio feed as 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. Could it comeback? I'd say... maybe.
