Potassium

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

The Potassium Channel was a short-lived cable television network that aired sometime during the late 1990's. The network's operations were based on the Nobel Prize winning research of Peter Agre, Roderick MacKinnon and Paris Hilton. The idea was that under the right conditions, potassium ions could induce voltage differences in selected proteins. The electricity from this would be transformed into TV signals, in effect allowing DNA to broadcast what the channel's founders called "Nature's Own Television Show".

Of course it all failed miserably, and as a result "The Potassium Channel" was sold to the Dole Banana Co. within a few short months. After a brief rebranding of the channel as K! it disappeared from the airwaves forever.
