Twitch was an American cable television show which ran between 1995 and 1997, and was the first nationally-broadcast weekly video game review show, pioneering future programs of the genre including Attack of the Show! and GameTrailers TV. It was once a staple program for the TV! television network (as it was known in 1995) as its chief nationwide distributor. Twitch branded its program with the tagline, "The Pulse Of The Video Game Revolution".
Show Format[edit]
Twitch was a video game review show that also explored the producers and celebrities that were behind the popular gaming platforms of the mid-1990s. The series mainly provided its viewers with an assortment of material related to the video game industry, such as gaming tips, product reviews, behind-the-scenes content, cheat codes, expert analyses on gaming titles, and occasional guest interviews with game developers. There were also instances of "man-on-the-street" interview segments, in which Twitch would travel to locales such as arcades and the Electronic Entertainment Expo to question local gamers about various topics. Airing weekly, each episode had a thirty-minute airtime, and was often stewarded by multiple co-hosts, each managing separate segments per episode.
The series was carried on Colorado-based tv! Network (later rebranded as INTRO Television),[1] and had been distributed by Liberty Media from 1995 through 1997, lasting for two seasons. Episodes were recorded on-set at the National Digital Television Center in Littleton, and featured Denver-based Alt-Punk Indie band Jux County on its original theme music.
Cancellation[edit]
Though the series enjoyed some popularity and was likely to be renewed for a third season, the series was abruptly ended after its distributing network was bought out by Starz, Inc. at the start of the year in 1997;[2] as a result, all of the channel's assets and original programming were liquidated, and the entire programming bloc was replaced with an all-movie format under the Encore Plex banner. Though few sources of the series–official or otherwise–exist online today, series creator Monty Miranda, who was also the director of the series at the time, posted a partial episode clip onto his official YouTube channel on June 24th, 2020.[3]
