New HD channel I don't want to see

By Kevin C. Tofel

After doing the daily programming post of my picks for the day, I found one channel I'll probably never see. What the heck is the HipHopSodaShop channel?
Please don't tell me this was picked up by DirecTV, Dish or Comcast.
Let me see, let me see: no, thankfully it's just a channel in the restaurant of the same name. Whew!

I've never heard of HHSS, but then again I don't get out much. Apparently, this new channel is targeted for the 15 to 25 year-old hip-hop crowd. Yet another reason I've never heard of it, since I didn't know there was a "hip-hop crowd." The channel will feature high-def music videos and ads targeting the Hip Hop community. These folks also have a satellite radio channel in-house; will  they "get jiggy" with iTunes next? I give them credit: HDTV is a great marketing and advertising venue.
