Didn't he have some kind of internet broadcasting thing where he had a split screen like BBC News 24's old style with one side broadcasting a silent version of BBC America and the other broadcasting an image from his webcam that was pointed out of the window?
He also had some text beneath the image detailing the equuipment he used - including said vision mixer and professional cameras!

Jaron claimed to have a vision mixer at home and offered a small studio set up for such a thing!

I came up with a schedule for the proposed channel a while ago. The resultant thread got quite long and although I didn't, as promised, build a spoof website (couldn't be bothered to finish) - I did get as far as compiling the contributions of all the forum members into a schedule for Monday - Friday. It's not entirely complete so there may be some repetition. There are some links (click here for..) which obviously won't work.
I wrote some of this but about half of it is the work of various TV Forum posters whose names I cannot find. It's a team effort.
Here it is - the complete TV Forum Channel schedule for the week. Enjoy.

"TVFC's imperceptible new look hits screens next week
Monday sees the beginning of a new era in the history of the TV Forum Channel. Viewers will fail to notice the barely visible alterations from 6am on Monday, when the new graphics - designed by Martin Lambie-Nairn - hit the screen.
Speaking to TVFC Online, Lambie-Nairn was enthusiastic about the changes. "It's a fresh new look for a fresh new century," he said. "We've altered the channel's identity in a way that is sure to bring TVFC into the third quarter of 2003."
One of the comparitively noticable changes will be the removal of the http://www. from the URL in all logos. Viewers can also expect an insignificant four-pixel decrease in the height of the channel's logo. Online, the background of TVFC's header will change from #99CCFF to #C1E0FF.
The changes took six months to complete and will cost the station £4.5bn. At the time of publication, the station's controller was said to be 'unaware' of the redesign."
