Nodog Network

Nodog Network is a channel focusing mostly on sketch and variety comedies and comedy. The first show televised on the channel was Oh Yeah! Cartoons.

History
The channel originally started out as a streaming service. It was trying to compete with the likes of Netflix and Hulu back then. It didn't go so well, as no matter how hard they advertised it, people went to Netflix and Hulu. They then thought it wasn't of use, so they started a TV channel instead. The streaming service got discontinued on November 18, 2008. A deal with Turner was also made. The "original lineup" consisted of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Dexter's Laboratory, Time Squad, Rocko's Modern Life, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Sheep in the Big City. Interstitials consisted of indie shorts.

In the same year, they acquired some foreign shows, such as Corneil and Bernie, Space Goofs (the 2nd season being "exclusive"), Wayside, and Kaput and Zosky. Fudge Puppy Animation productions also got added to the interstitials.

In 2009, Nodog Network struck a deal with Viacom to telecast some of its sketch comedy and comedy programs. This package included Liquid Television, Oh Yeah! Cartoons, The Amanda Show, ChalkZone, Ren & Stimpy, KaBlam!, and some others.

In 2010, they again, struck a deal. This time, with The Brothers Chaps. They got access to over 400 toons, including sbemails, Teen Girl Squad issues, shorts, and holiday toons. Looney Tunes shorts were also added. These two programs would create the "Homestar/Looney Tunes Half Hour". A deal with FOX was also made, adding The Simpsons to the lineup.

In 2011, there was a new block introduced for the late-night lineup, consisting of the more adult-orientated shows. This block was said to compete with Adult Swim. They also showed new The Simpsons episodes regularly. Ratings went very high for the network, even though Adult Swim was beating them.

Oddities

 * When aired late at night as part of the Homestar/Looney Tunes Half Hour, sometimes a scene is cut where Homestar is beaten with various objects. This may have been due to an edited master sometimes playing.


 * The Simpsons episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" has a scene cut of Bart singing "Bastard bastard bastard!", and Homer in the gas station bathroom. This is due to a syndication cut of the episode being played.
