What was the TV channel whose thing in the 90s was starting everything on the :05/:35s so if the thing you intended to watch sucked you might bail out and surf to them (and that given how TV is structured and timed this dynamic tended to recur at every commercial break)? TBS? TNT?

it was definitely TBS; TNT may have also done that since they are both Ted Turner joints

was kind of fucked up when Ted Turner (the man behind colorization) builds his own national networks of channels in the 20s and 50s it’s ho-hum but when Fox and then WB/UPN do it in single digits it’s revolutionary
