How it feels

You juggle TV schedules, ads, and staff in a brightly colored pixel world, making lighthearted choices that feel more like casual fun than high-pressure drama.

What players say

Players say it is a simple, addictive loop of scheduling content for a TV channel, but the audience system feels random and the interface and dialogue are repetitive. It compares favorably to UHF and MAD TV, and the community workshop adds longevity.
