The Tube was really the one example of use of subchannels that I thought was good. Oh well. I guess I'll just enjoy the last few hours of it.
BTW, considering they just had an ad for "The Perfect Pushup" I wouldn't call it commercial free.

The Tube had Wildlife Jams, though.
(And in the amusingly quick nature of Wikipedia, is already updated to reflect the 10/1/2007 closure of The Tube)

Wow. I just discovered this channel yesterday. Once again, I am late to the party!
It simply went black right after the Sopranos theme song video. Then we got station ID here in NYC, about 35 seconds later, a flash to an SD simulcast of the station, which then broke up and disappeared to black again then back to the simulcast then back to black then back to the simulcast, so I guess that's all folks.
It just died over here. We now have a very nice banner on the screen saying that other programming will occupy this channel soon.
The last song we saw was "A3 - Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)", which was the Sporanos theme song. The song finished, and the screen went black. Considering that's how the Sopranos series ended, someone over at The Tube clearly has a sense of humor about their closure.

The salient part of the E/I regulation is that over-the-air channels have to carry three hours per week of "educational/informational" programming for kids, with no real specified time slot (but the FCC might look askance at a station that's running their E/I programming at 2:00 A.M. Tuesday). Bicker, I think you're thinking of something different -- there are limits on the amount of commercial time allowed during children's programming, which are different for weekdays and weekends.
what a bummer... I kept switching to this channel yesterday whenever the football game was showing commercials. Little did I know it would be the last time.
Its a shame that a 'music' channel like MTV can be successful by showing trash reality shows, while a channel that tries to do it right by showing a wide variety of videos all the time dies so quickly.
