Update – Stream will start @ 5:30 PM with a short edition of hogFM
20 years ago this Tuesday, hogTV was making its debut on the CAB TV network; simultaneously, a tragedy was unfolding in the United States of America…
“Things will never be the same again!”
hedgehog90, November 9th 2001
In this special edition of hogTV we’ll look back on the events of this eventful day and ask the following questions: How did it happen? Why did it happen? And most importantly, who did it happen?
Tune in @ 6 PM this Tuesday for all the answers.
(Depending on time constraints I might start a little earlier than scheduled with a short music show)

The Void. We all feel it, to varying degrees. And we all try to fill it in different ways. In this episode of Filling the Void, a collaboration between Vic Berger and VICE News, we take a look at the American obsession with weight and physical beauty, and what keeps us always striving for a more perfect body.
19:40 – A day in the life of MC Devvo
Created by David Firth (Fat Pie, Salad Fingers), Devvo follows its titular character (real name: “Darren Devonshire”), an unemployed chav from Hull, as he buys alcohol, breaks into a car, tries to sell a bus ticket, and generally gets into trouble.
19:55 – Nature’s Double Lifers – Ferns and Fronds (1932)

20:20 – Roof Garden Revue (1929)

20:30 – Synecdoche, New York (2008)
Directorial debut of Charlie Kaufman, writer of Being John Malkovich (1999), Adaptation (2002), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).
The film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as an ailing theatre director who works on an increasingly elaborate stage production and whose extreme commitment to realism begins to blur the boundaries between fiction and reality. The film’s title is a play on Schenectady, New York, where much of the film is set, and the concept of synecdoche, wherein a part of something represents the whole or vice versa.
“The best movie of the decade.“
Roger Ebert, 2009
22:35 – Building The World Trade Center (1983)
22:50 – Howard TV Presents 9.11.01: A Retrospective
While we were enjoying the premiere edition of hogTV, Howard Stern was broadcasting his daily morning radio show from the 92.3 K‑Rock studios in Manhattan, New York. Watch in amazement as the topic of conversation veers from Pamela Anderson’s breasts to local unfolding events, to dropping nukes on random Middle Eastern countries.
In all honesty though, it’s a fascinating – if somewhat unnerving – watch.
00:25 – The Misc Zone
Cop a load of misc.
00:40 – Fin
