Know we have a Vice HBO thread but figured something for this channel should get going Looks like the launch date is February 29th. Going to be a lot of online content repurposed for the tv. Action Bronson's Fuck that's Delicious Eddie Huang's Fresh Off The Boat + Huang's World Gaycation with Ellen Page and a bunch of others http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/news/a41563/balls-deep-trailer-viceland/ interested to see the News angle they take with it.
Watched Weediquette last night. Pretty similar to the web version. I can take or leave that show depending on the topic. More interested in the news production as you said.
For the past few months, all of us at VICE have been working hard to put the finishing touches on VICELAND, our new TV channel. The time has almost come to share it with you all. VICELAND will go live on February 29, and you'll be able to soak up all the new and classic shows through your television (and other ways too), 24 hours a day. We're all pretty excited. Some old favorites from VICE.com like BALLS DEEP, F*ck That's Delicious, andWEEDIQUETTE will be premiering new seasons on VICELAND. We'll also be dropping new shows, like GAYCATION with Ellen Page and Ian Daniel. Spike Jonze, one of our oldest and dearest VICE friends, has been masterminding VICELAND from the beginning. We asked him what he is most excited about when it comes to the channel as a whole: "It feels like most channels are just a collection of shows. We wanted VICELAND to be different, to feel like everything on there has a reason to exist and a strong point of view. Our mission with the channel is not that different from what our mission is as a company: It's us trying to understand the world we live in by producing pieces about things we're curious about, or confused about, or that we think are funny." Are you as pumped as we are yet? For those of you wondering how to tune into VICELAND once it launches, we put together a helpful little guide.
