A website known as YTCH has transformed YouTube into a broadcast TV network, converting familiar channels into traditional television channels.
As streaming services like Netflix and Max continue to gain popularity, it’s evident that broadcast TV is on the decline. More and more people are choosing to support individual creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch instead.
According to Ofcom, even individuals above 60 years old are shifting from traditional broadcast television to streaming platforms.
YTCH transforms YouTube into a broadcast TV network without any advertisements. Upon visiting the website, a random channel number will play a YouTube video.
You are not given the option to select a specific part of the video to watch, nor are you able to pause it. Your only choices are to switch the channel, mute the video, or shut it off.
One of the greatest features is that a channel remains active even when you switch to a different one. This means that if you change channels, you might miss out on the video playing on the previous channel, similar to the feeling of missing out on broadcast TV.
The site features 12 channels in total, with each channel showcasing diverse content from various sources.
Upon observation, we observed that certain establishments exclusively display MMA fights, while others primarily showcase educational content, and there are also those that mainly offer podcasts.
The name of the YouTube channel playing the video is not displayed on the site, but a brief link to the video can be seen.
YTCH may not cater to everyone, particularly those who favor choosing their own viewing content. However, if you are the type to passively browse through channels and stumble upon something that captures your attention, then you will probably find it enjoyable.
It’s also beneficial for individuals who have a hard time finding something to watch while eating (hello).
The site’s creator presented it on Hacker News, where it received a lot of attention. Users on Hacker News expressed their interest in the site and requested new features, including a TV guide. The creator responded by stating that work on these features was already underway.
