Riot (105): loud, rude and animated
Status: agreed in principle with Paul 3 November 2026. Configured in 0.87.0, not yet installed. Its look stays 2D on purpose.
Identity: the rebel channel: bold adult animation, irreverent comedy and attitude, louder as the night goes on. Tagline (Paul's pick, 3 November 2026): "Turn it up." Look and feel: early MTV's chaotic energy, modern, with the 2D logo as a throwback.
History, verified: Trouble launched on 3 February 1997 from the teenage part of The Children's Channel, ran from noon to 8pm sharing its channel with Bravo, and leaned on popular sitcoms more than cartoons. Source: Wikipedia, Trouble (TV channel), read 3 November 2026. MTV and Comedy Central UK inspiration is style only, not yet sourced.
Core: South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Beavis and Butt-Head, Rick and Morty, American Dad!, King of the Hill, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, BoJack Horseman.

Surprises: the Graveyard block (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Squidbillies, Moral Orel, Superjail!, Tim and Eric, Dr. Katz, The Ren & Stimpy Show) and Saturday Stunt Night.
Time of day: 06:00 to 18:00 cartoons for grown-ups. Riot Laughs, 18:00 to 21:00. After Hours, 21:00 to 02:00. Graveyard, 02:00 to 06:00. Stunt Night, Saturday 22:00 to 00:00: Jackass, Dirty Sanchez, Bo' Selecta!.
