Ftn

Ftn was a short-lived television channel in the British Isles.

Ftn broadcast between January 15, 2003 and October 1, 2007. It showed mostly entertainment and reality programming. It seems that Ftn was just an overnight broadcast; it was on between 6 pm and 6 am. It was geared toward nightshift workers and insomniacs and nocturnal animals like hamsters.

I had a hamster once. In fact, I think he's been mentioned in Wikibloogia before. His name was Mario. He would run on his wheel all night in my room and try to escape his cage.

He's dead now.

Just like Ftn.

Because that's the way it is.


Mario would have liked Ftn.

  3. dude, my nephews and niece had/have a hamster named mario! have we discussed. i can't remember if it's dead or not. they were really excited about the hamsters at first. then the hamsters started to smell and they lost interest. that's how it goes, i suppose. you start smelling bad and the kids just don't come around to play anymore.

    my word verification is morni.
