In 1995, ABI had secured enough funds to open its own TV station. This was our attempt at expanding the media division we already had with our radio station and even our games and other computer software. The station began broadcasting in 1997. Unfortunately, it only lasted five years, due to a plethora of reasons. By 1999, the station was bleeding too much money, plus some unfortunate incidents occurred, one of which is talked about in more detail on our Fearful Fox page (under Current Projects). While the TV is gone, its legacy can still be felt to this day. Below is a schedule that we have made as accurate as we possibly could by coming through records and various newspaper clippings.

We'll update this list as we find more information, but it is safe to assume that there was some spots without content at one time or another, which would be when other channels would host their content under our supervision. Here's some news pieces to be on the lookout for (so long as we can actually upload them):

Interview With Antique Bandit Interactive Founder, Mr. Error, On His Company and the State of Fearful Fox 64 (December 24th, 2001, 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM)


Rumored Programs:


These are programs that were rumored to exist, but never did.


Depresso Espresso, 5:00 PM-6:00 PM (January 1st, 2001 to January 1st, 2002) - We have no idea where this rumor originated from. We suspect Mr. Error added this one as some sort of odd joke. We are not amused.

We Like to Slice Off and Eat Robot Hands, 3:00 PM-4:00 PM (January 1st, 1997 to January 1st, 1999) - This appears to have been added by a disgruntled, ex-employee, although we have no clue of which one.

The Murder Cats of Planet Earth, 5:00 PM-6:00 PM (January 1st, 1999 to January 1st, 2001) - There is a possibility this one existed, but we can't find any footage or record of it.

How to Tutorial, Any Time and Day Available (Sometimes Played as Commercials) (January 1st, 1997 to January 1st, 2002) - This one was also probably added by Mr. Error, as some sort of strange joke (again).

Super Grocery Cart Dorifto! ("Japanese Import") Played Whenever Possible (January 1st, 1997 to January 1st, 2002) - We suspect this one was added by an employee (and I think I even know which one, not naming any names though).

Conspiracy Creators! (1997) - This one was probably added by Mr. Error. We believe it was a failed project that never got off the ground (not even getting past the planning stages like most of our other Abandoned Projects).

Murder Cats and Ocean Spike Holiday Special (Sometime in 1999) - There's a chance this one also existed, but we can't find any proof.

Marvin Drops His Basketballs (Colorized) (Special Star Presentation Movies) (November 7th, 1997, November 5th, 1999, 8:00 PM) - This one was probably a joke by a different, disgruntled, ex-employee.

Time Travel Training Guide For Limited ABI Company Employee and Specialist Use Only (April 26th, 1999, 12:00 PM) - This was probably a joke done by Mr. Error. Probably.

Error: Full Version (Advertisement) (1999) - There is a slim chance this advertisement existed, as some research of our records does indicate a game/computer software application called Error existed at one point, but it doesn't seem to have gotten very far, and especially not far enough to get an advertisement. Who knows.


As an aside, we also have a radio station that we've used since 1970. It is still being used to this day.
