 The best part is the guest programmers; a band or artist of whatever comes in and play whatever videos they want for a few hours on Saturday nights. Then they schedule a bunch of their videos after. Used to love taping them as a teen, hoping the three-hour limit would catch everything good. The best part is the guest programmers; a band or artist of whatever comes in and play whatever videos they want for a few hours on Saturday nights.

 +It's not perfect, but close enough for me. Wish I could get the line spacing closer :(\\ I was trying to avoid that dopey .ass file extension, but I needed to use it to mess with the font dimensions a bit. I should've used a better base resolution, but oh well.

 +With Kodi you'll need to install any fonts you want to use. In my case I had to put them in ''/usr/share/fonts''. And make sure you're not overriding ssa/ass subtitle fonts in Settings>Player Settings/Language/Override ASS / SSA subtitles fonts\\
 +In newer versions of Kodi you can put the fonts in the ''~/.kodi/media/Fonts'' directory, I believe. Current Kodi versions support other font types, but I had to use TTF.

 +  * [[wp>Deni Gordon]] does the Rage scream: [[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-28/we-found-the-woman-who-did-the-rage-scream/8473388|Meet the woman who did the iconic Rage intro scream]]. She was also in //[[Heartbreak High]]//!
 +  * The [[fonts|font]] use for the logo is maybe an edit of 'American Typewriter'?: [[https://old.reddit.com/r/identifythisfont/comments/m8to4z/anyone_know_this_font_it_is_from_rage_on_abc_in/|Anyone know this font? It is from Rage on ABC in Australia.]]. Info I got from the ABC is just that it's a custom font.
 +  * I also asked about the font used for the captions, and was told that it's Eurostile. <del>I've ended up using Eurostile round, bolded it, and narrowed it a little. The rounded versions adds a little softness that fits better with my analogue-tinged memories.</del>actually in Kodi it's way too bold, so switch back to the not-round version. Regular Eurostile seems to be used in the credits though, without any condensing.
