YouTube is what first made this question worth asking, and unless there's a cable channel out there that I don't know about, it's still the world's premier venue for Asian teenagers playing video-game theme songs on two electric guitars at the same time. But since it launched in December 2005, YouTube has been largely stripped of the kind of longer-format, commercially produced content that could get you through a solitary evening at home, as opposed to a furtive interlude between spreadsheets.
