I completely understand the kind of mind that would catalog such a thing.

This wouldn't be my thing to catalog, but I'm glad somebody did it.

If people are watching your work closely enough to document errors in it, and they care enough to make a wiki page, you’re doing truly great work.

TIL that showing a screenbug on the screen was an absolute pain. Also TIL what a screenbug is.

I’m suddenly reminded of a fairly large channel error from one of CN’s competitors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_Games_and_Sports_f...

When Nick GAS shut down, somehow, Dish Network had an automated loop of the channel that they themselves kept running for about 15 months after the channel’s demise. I’m curious what systems at Dish Network were still running a ghost channel by itself like that. Did they just get delivered loops of programming to shove on the air from Nick directly and just leave it up? I would have figured Dish would have been getting a feed from Viacom that would have dropped at the same time as GAS itself.
