 		I agree it won't be some kind of story continuation, they practically said so. totheark is so obscure he almost could reappear in some form, except that the story so heavily implied he was Hoody/Masky, who died/wasn't obscure. Of course they could reuse the channel just like they're reusing the main one, and even continue the cryptic video style with it; I wouldn't put that past them at all.

I don't believe they're going to do this, but if totheark returns it could also just be Tim. He was always the most plausible candidate in any Hoody+other(s) theory. In fact, the Hoody+Masky totheark theory was arguably more plausible than anything else.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Wait, wasn't "Everything is fine" in totheark font in the last Entry implying that Tim was totheark? Like, he was lying to Jay the whole time and had his own agenda to finish off Alex? And his poor messed up friend Brian was only maybe uploading videos for him and, at best, doing the ones with "lead me to death, lead me to the Ark"? Tim Wright is surely charismatic enough to pull this off.
EDIT: Tim could be deliberately adding distortion to his totheark videos to make it look like totheark is Brian alone, to leave safely after everyone else involved would die.

 		It's one thing to assume TTA could be in the next series, but another to suggest that both channels will become active again. While a story revolving around TTA seems more likely than a story around TO, it's hard to imagine the second channel will be used any more. In my opinion it's main purpose was to give a third-party perspective on Jay's investigation and the incidents surrounding Alex's film. Even though
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Brian/Hoody's
death perfectly matches up with the time TTA stopped uploading, I think the channel has served it's purpose.
THAC did flat out say in the AMA that the new series would not be a continuation, but it is a follow up, meaning there will probably be ties to the story or certain characters.
If people are so adamant on the idea of TTA being in it then I'd put my money on a prequel possibly ending with the formation of TTA or the birth of the Mask clan. Even though Hoody, Masky and Skully were all legitimate members, there may have once been more.
The distortion caused in most MH videos was that of data corruption and glitches, which is a typical trait of exposure to TO. But the grain and tearing in the teaser seems to more similar to that of weathering and age, not interference per say. Obviously the ringing sound different and reminds me of a poor reception on an analog television set or shortwave radio.
Someone brought up Troy's rant on number stations in the posdcast, I would say keep an eye on that, because it's sounds like an idea he and Tim would be very invested in doing.

 		What posdcast episode had the rant?

I'm not an expert, but, yeah, the teaser does lend an analog TV feel to my speculation about the show. Which in my opinion is great.

 		Also, what the hell would a numbers TV station be like? They're all radio. Or would it look like one of those local news/events channels--not public or community access television but just a blue screen with a generated voice reading numbers?

 		Just wondering here, because if anyone could pull off the TV numbers station in a compelling series, THAC can.

It was in Episode 22. I was dreading having to comb through all the episodes again but then I remembered they closed the episode with number station audio, thank god.

But the idea of tv number stations seemed cool to me for a while until I realised there would be no need for one. Analog television worked the same as radio where you had to tune the television in manually unless you had a longwave aerial/antenna. So in a way before there was digital we were using tv number stations.
The teaser might have been our protagonist tuning their tv set into the channel. As long as the signal/relay is strong enough any aerial within range should pick up a some reception.
That kind of explains why the imagine comes and goes, it's like someone is adjusting it. Whether they're broadcasting or watching is still a mystery, as we only have a standby graphic.

Makes sense to me.

Oh, I still somewhere have my old rabbit ears from when I first moved to Boston. (Worst. Analog reception. Ever.) Laughing

Well, channel 44 could be relaying some kind of information, etc., that conveys special information to those who watch it, or that corrupts the long-term viewer in some way. I think whoever said Public/Community Access TV is correct. So possibly in THAT sense (and only that sense) this may be in any way at all like that "1999" creepypasta. (The subject matter in that one seems like something they'd avoid, anyway, which is good.)

Basically, there's a lot of potential for a series with public access TV, paranormal or non. A numbers station story would involve coming up with some spy intrigue or something--that doesn't really seem like something they'd do at this stage, though I could be wrong.

Thanks for confirming the Posdcast episode. I'll check it out. I hate to say it, but soon after Marble Hornets ended I fell away from the 'cast.

Speak for yourself, my family was literally the last people to get digital, and only because our national broadcaster was switching over.

But there's an idea, like it's broadcasting the Ring all night all day :L

Yeah I mean that's the main train of excitement for me. Just the thought of what it might be. I very much doubt we'll be disappointed as they've been working on this for a while now. And while I'm sure they have plenty to show us, they probably want to get it perfect before broadcasting anything.

No probs, I won't making a habit of it, if it weren't for the close of that episode I would have simply given you a ballpark, as the posdcasts are way too long to backtrack through and kinda don't need to be listened to again once a once a new one's out. I only started listening a few months ago, but I'm subscribed now as I can listen while doing chores or playing vidya.

No no--there's just something about Boston's geography that made Analog reception horrendous.

And, no, not quite The Ring... that could get dull fast. But that's how numbers stations sorta worked, though I don't think any went twenty-four--seven.

Wow, no.

Everything is Fine is NOT in totheark font at the end, it's in regular font. "EVERYTHING IS FINE" was also in a totheark video in totheark font, and there's merchandize of it in that font, but not in the entry. Fun fact: Troy said on the DVD that the double use of Everything is Fine is a coincidence.

The ending is up to interpretation, but there's nothing to suggest that Tim knew he was Masky before season 3, or that he lied to Jay about his amnesia. People theorize that sometimes, but that has very little to do with the ending, or at least not with the Everything is Fine thing.

 		I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the news report about Tim's house burning in Entry #85 is on channel 44.

Oh fuck, THAC even said they stitched most of that broadcast together from stock footage. That's a good eye man.

Oh, yeah, yeah, it was in a regular font, I forgot for a moment. Still, I got this kind of vibe after thinking about the ending for some time. Would have helped if I had got my DVDs with commentaries, but Russian Post has other plans, it seems. Sad Thank you for that information.

Also, nice catch, Gold Knight! I absolutely love these little details in associated fictional works.
