The Cuddly Channel

The Cuddly Channel is a channel made by BoyInCharge55. It is run by Walter Zed and Peter Johnson in Asheville, North Carolina.

History
On May 23, 1995, Walter Zed and Peter Johnson were deciding on ideas for a public audience. Peter suggested a musical for The Busy World of Richard Scarry, but Walter rejected it. Peter then suggested a television network, which Walter accepted.

The next day, Walter came up with the name "The Cuddly Channel" and started to acquire some Cinar shows, along with VeggieTales. It took exactly two days to acquire the shows.

On June 3, 1997, the channel officially launched with a mascot named Cuddler, a blue and white cat wearing a 1980s style disco outfit. The network's first program was The Busy World of Richard Scarry. This broadcast appears to reference the first idea Peter Johnson came up with for a public audience in 1995.

On December 24, 1999, the channel signed a contract with Mondo Mini Shows to use Cuddles from HTF as the channel's mascot. The same day, Cuddles was introduced for the first time on TV.

On January 5, 2000, the network began a block called the Mondo Mini Block, which broadcasted Mondo's shows. The block ran until March 5, 2005. The first program broadcasted on the Mondo Mini Block was Thugs on Film, while the last one was Happy Tree Friends.

On March 1, 2005, the network announced that the Mondo Mini Block would be shut down on March 5 of that year. However, they also announced that Cuddles would be kept as the network's mascot even after the block closed.
