Late 2001 is basically when my childhood nostalgia begins in terms of kid stations!  ;)

That second one you have there, is for the TV Guide Channel, which I remember watching all the time then. I enjoyed seeing the listings (for my cable tv provider), but I also paid attention to the top half of the screen when it was showing something interesting. Case in point, this:

Yeah I think that one was available. As was Adelphia. (That was my provider until July 2001, when we switched to Starsight...which was later bought out by Adelphia!)

Makes me sad how "old school" the early 2000s are now.

I hated when it switched to Comcast, it was harder to screw with the cord to get free pay per view channels.
In 2001 Media gave me MTV 2 for free for no reason, and this went on until 2003  LOL  The company business
wise along with Adelphia had not a clue how to run a business, but the consumers won when we got free channels lol


I remember vividly watching Starz for 6 months straight with no phone call or notice.
