Imagine a channel that showed a bunch of music videos during commercial breaks. These videos featured footage from the shows the network aired, and sometimes even had original animation made for it. And here's the kicker: many songs were done by prominent artists like Music/TheyMightBeGiants, [[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas Will.i.am]], and even ''Music/{{Devo}}''. Prepare to be surprised, as this was Creator/CartoonNetwork during the late 1990s/early 2000s.
