Channel 100 Studios

**Channel 100 Studios** is a location in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom*, found in the middle of nowhere. It is an isolated television studio formerly owned by a rather crazy president, where a plethora of different TV programmes were filmed and made, the most famous of which being *The Purple Man and Track Tom Show!* featuring Purple Man, Track Tom and Inspector M. Nearby the studios is Turbotown, where the aforementioned characters live and where the show was set before being cancelled after they died.

## Description

Channel 100 Studios consist of several of large stone buildings surrounded by a huge stone wall, with some metal railings on the top of it. The studios have a front entrance where visitors enter and leave through by pressing a button to alert the guard to open the gate, as well as a back entrance with a car park which the actors and producers enter through. Both entrances have a huge metal gate and stone path which lead up to them, with the wall as a whole being surrounded by lanterns for light and a grass field with some plants and trees. On the front entrance there are some signs about things going on in the studios, such as upcoming shows and updates as well as one with Purple Man and Track Tom on it giving some information about Channel 100’s most famous show. Within the actual constraints of the studio, there is a larger centre building filled with offices and two smaller buildings where filming and production of the actual shows takes place, including planning, creation of props and more.

## Background

Channel 100 Studios was created quite some time after Channel 100 itself first hit the airwaves, as the channel was not initially thought to have become as popular as it did. The channel’s first ever big hit was *The Purple Man and Track Tom Show!* starring Purple Man, Track Tom and Inspector M, who lived in the nearby Turbotown and all went on wacky adventures together. This show became immensely successful very quickly, becoming the most popular show in the entire world for many years, resulting in a dedicated studio for the channel being made by a mysterious president and other people working on the channel, though this president was quite insane. Over the years, more and more shows were made and they were able to be produced with a higher budget due to the advantages of having a large studio for the channel, but Purple Man and Track Tom remained the dominating show and produced dozens of episodes before *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* even came around. Some time before that show was made, Officer M. had visited Channel 100 Studios a few times to do some work on the show alongside Purple Man and Track Tom before being fired from the show forever which gave him time to hang out with Turtle Man and DaPhantom in their show’s many episodes.

Many years later, Channel 100 Studios which had gotten even bigger was visited by Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. for the first time in many years since they had grown mad over the fact that the trio thought they had ripped them off. Upon visiting though, they discovered that the show and Channel 100 had actually existed long before their show and where it aired on, Channel 99, did. The trio met Purple Man and Track Tom and engaged in a fight with them, which ended with The Devourer being called in to eat and kill them. With the two being killed and Inspector M. also dying some weeks later during one of his plans to exact revenge on them, the popularity of Channel 100 and the studios started to decline as their most popular show had to be cancelled due to the deaths of their main characters. Before Inspector M. died and right after Purple Man and Track Tom died, the Channel 100 Executive had followed Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. back to The City of Nexus and tried to kill them as revenge but failed and was defeated by them first.

Following the death of the studios’ beloved president, Nexus’ own Vice President took over the role and further ran the company into the ground with many questionable and bad decisions which cost a lot of money. He decided to open up Purple Man and Track Tomland, a theme park based off of the studios’ most popular characters, but the theme park was very cheaply made, looking like most of the rides and attractions could break down any minute, and charged insane money for the tickets. Despite this, the theme park gained huge attraction and became an instant smash hit with people from many places coming to visit the terrible rides and it was considered the first big success of Channel 100 in quite some time. The theme park was visited by Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. who were seemingly the only people to realise how cheap and bad the park was, and managed to convince some people to leave which made the workers there with their giant guns angry. The Vice President came down and kicked the three out, not wanting to accept any of their ideas to make the place better or money to improve it as long as the park kept raking in money. Just as the trio left and the Vice President laughed manically, loads of rides collapsed behind him, thus making a lot of people leave the place at once.
