The Goint TV Archives

[goint-tv]

Hello friends, and welcome to The Goint TV Archives! My name isn't important, but for the sake of clarity you may call me The Archivist.

If its your first time here, you probably have one important question...

What is Goint TV?

Goint TV was a now defunct cable channel that underwent several controversies throughout its existence from 2005-2014. It strove to deliver an extremely wide variety of programs, which in turn made it struggle to find a consistent audience. Even so, it was a channel that captured the hearts of many, due to a distinct rebellious edge that was at its strongest in its early years.

My goal with The Goint Archives is to catalogue every piece of material I can find related to Goint TV. Due to the channel having a rather small audience, and not being included in basic cable packages, coverage and preservation of this channel is extremely limited. However, with the help of those of you that were as fond of this channel as I was, I feel like we can resurface enough content to paint a picture of what this channel was like while it was still on the air.

Thank you for your interest in my archiving of anything and everything Goint TV, any help or leads would be extremely appreciated and will be verified to the best of my ability before posting.

Goint TV Memes (2010)

In an effort to cash in on the rising popularity of social media, Goint TV would create a twitter account in July of 2010. One of their first tweets would be a collection of four "Impact Font" style memes, using some of the more popular meme templates at the time: Bad Luck Brian, Overly Attached Girlfriend, Buff Ludacris, and Philosoraptor.

Goint TV "I'd Fuck It" Banner Ad (2005)

Seemingly in an effort to parody McDonald's infamous "Double Cheeseburger, I'd Hit It" advertising mishap, Goint TV put out their own ad in which they seemingly implied they would have sex with their own channel. However, the crass language used in the ad rendered it impossible to use on practically any safe for work websites.

Goint TV Caught You Slipping Bumper (2009)

I feel like this bumper is pretty straight forward. This man was simply caught slipping, and he payed the price...

Goint TV "Goint Lover" Promotional Blinkie (2006)

In order to drum up attention on the internet, Goint TV would create a series of promotional blinkies, small animated gifs that would "blink", thus drawing the viewers attention. Sadly, only the "Goint Lover" blinkie has been recovered. Fans of Goint TV would add these to the ends of forum posts in their "signatures", or directly to their websites to show that they were true Goint Heads. These blinking gifs have little use in the modern age of social media, but its a very neat piece of Goint TV history!

Goint TV Sonic Bumper Set (September 2007)

Our first piece of material, and its these bumpers... For those not in the know, these specific bumpers are notorious in the Goint community for being a complete and total mystery. Who are the actors in these bumpers? Where were these even filmed? Why are they Sonic themed? So many basic questions and not a single one has been answered since these bumpers ran in 2007. People have had theories, a long-standing one being that this was a reused piece of promotional material from the failed 2006 "Summer of Sonic" event. However, every bumper from said event has since been recovered, and not a single one matches these in any way.
