A British music video station dedicated to playing British garage, hip hop and RnB videos. To sum it up simply, the ghetto of music television.
It is characterised by its videos which have relatively cheap production budgets and the editing prowess of an overexcited Media Studies student made by obscure acts and 'crews' who usually just hang around in the background of the video filmed on an estate somewhere trying to look ever so hard to look menacing and killing off any sort of artistic impression the video could leave. The performers are mostly from London and unrepently flood the genre with their lack of originality, talent and their oblivious enforcement of black stereotypes, whilst they dream of being the next Dizzee Rascal/So Solid Crew who will be where in the next 5 years?
You thought Cribs on MTV can't be copied? You obviously haven't seen YARDZ. Now, Yardz is another Channel U production in the basic Cribs format where cameras follow an 'urban music celebrity' around their homes. A far cry from the real celebrities in the mansions, Yardz tends to feature small city houses with barely room for a camera crew to fit and the obligatory chavved up mess of a car parked up. True budget television.
Also home of one of the funniest shows on television, The Westwood Show - a poorly made production for DJ Tim Westwood who's ego goes into overdrive as he fills an hour of programming time with the delusions of him being a celebrity with his own show.

Get the disney channel mug.alias for The History Channel, formerly known as The Hitler Channel. THC earned this moniker after presenting several programs depicting how the world will end. Recent programs include the prophecies of Nostradamus, the Mayan prophecies, biblical prophecies, the destruction of earth by both wordly and extra-terrestrial means, and the aftermath of the disappearance of the human race, which all have the basic underlying theme: we are all going to die... horribly. Keep watching and THC will show you how.
"You have been going to church a lot recently."
"I have been watching the Doomsday Channel. Nostradumus prophesized that the Mayans will send a gamma ray burst to wipe out the infidels at Al Magedo, and then Jesus Christ will battle Obama for our plague-ridden souls before the great alignment of planets causes a massive volcanic eruption in Yellowstone which causes the Hoover Dam to break, thus creatng a 5 mile high tsunami that wipes out all life. Gotta be prepared for that."
"You're an idiot."
