Just found out about a niche streaming service based on the old Night Flight show...whoa!
"Giving much of the country its first exposure to outré punk, cult, and stoner-friendly programming, Night Flight was like a rebellious MTV (but not so rebellious as to avoid ZZ Top or John Cougar Mellencamp) as programmed by that one video store clerk with the Hüsker Dü shirt and the edgy haircut." (from Polygon)
@alisynthesis I remeber! IIRC They also used to show really bad sci-fi classics like "Cat-Women of the Moon" and "Robot Monster". Also I was utterly and completely stoned almost every time I tuned in. Good times!

@7sleepersmusic yes! This was a little before my time (I'm 42), but I LOVE this sort of thing. Esp. B-movie horror classics. Cat-Women of the Moon is amazing.
@alisynthesis OMG, thank you so much for this! Night Flight is how I got to see Urgh! A Music War repeatedly and let bits of it become part of me. :-) I wouldn’t be who I am without watching Gang of Four’s “He’d Send In The Army” a few dozen times, that’s for sure. :-)
@boxspring yay! I knew there would be a couple of people here who would be excited that this exists. :)
