what is your favorite TV channel and why

Planète. It is a French (France) documentary specialty channel that airs all sorts of quirky or informative documentaries.

NHL network. Self explanatory. =]

Channels I love

DAVE - Witty banter, top gear, pure win

BBC4 - Amazing documentaries mostly

Channel 4 - The best channel ever, great ethos, constantly puching boundries

BBC 2 - Good shows

Skysports news - How else will I find out about football at 3:35 AM?

Channels I hate

ITV - The target audience is the unemployed and the unskilled (really), need I say anything about the programmes.

BBC 1 - TV for gullible idiots

ESPN and Comedy Central =)

Fox News and whatever channel shows the 700 Club most often.

TyC Sports, because they show...sports

I like ABC2. It's a pretty new channel here. It also seems more left/alternative/counterculture-filled than SBS, and it makes me feel *really* cool while watching it. Most of the time though, I just channel surf and stop on whatever's good, regardless of channel. Does anyone else just do that? I mean, why pick favourites? Love the programmes, not the programme providers!
