2008 on TV
796 curated clips across 6 categories.
The Beijing Olympics, Iron Man, and the financial crisis make global headlines.
The lineup for 2008 runs through music videos, movies and TV, and commercials. There is no algorithm here, in the modern sense. The order is random. The contents are not. Every clip on this channel earned its spot by actually belonging to 2008, and the shuffle treats each one with the same indifference a real broadcast night would.

About the curation
Everything on the 2008 channel had to pass one test: did this exact clip air, release, or broadcast in 2008? If not, it does not go in. That cuts out the montages, the 2000s retrospectives, the reaction videos, and the lyric edits. To pitch a clip or get one pulled, email hello@timesurf.tv. Full rules on the About page.
