I built a website that brings back old-school channel surfing. What channels should it have?

Hi all,
I am working on OldSchoolTV, an interactive web application which recreates the experience of channel surfing on the internet!

My inspiration comes from the current experience of using streaming services: opening Netflix/YouTube, spending ages trying to decide what to watch, and ultimately just leaving the browser tab open without watching anything. I miss the good old days when watching TV involved simply switching the channel.

This is why in OldSchoolTV you can just jump straight into retro style channel surfing and start watching.

Here are my goals with the platform:

OldSchoolTV - Flip through synced retro TV channels on the web

OldSchoolTV brings back the feeling of flipping through cable. Jump between always-on retro channels for cartoons, lo-fi, documentaries, and more - instantly, free, and with no signup. Built for the moment when you just want something already on.
