Overview
Ed the Sock's FUN - The FU_Network is an online network of brand-new programming and returning favourites in the spirit of old-skool Muchmusic. Honest, unpredictable relevant & irreverent curated online content featuring current affairs/politics/comedy/music/movies – all with the sly, subversive spontaneity of classic Much and Ed the Sock's unique ability to say what we're all thinking - better than we could say it. Your voice, out loud.

Let's face it - we need Ed the Sock now more than ever!

The world's gone crazy! Fake news, alternative facts, alt.right, RadLeft, safe spaces, micro-aggressions, privilege, cultural appropriation, tiki torches, insane loud  voices on the Left and Right shouting at each other and nobody to tell them all to SHUT THE HELL UP - but with humour, not anger, so we can go back to laughing again!

Ed the Sock has always been the one to call bullsh*t, fearlessly speaking truth to power, bringing celebrities down to our level, cutting through the spin and saying what we think, but out loud.

Ed the Sock has returned and FUN - The FU_Network is his home base! An online channel that revives the free-wheeling spirit of classic Muchmusic with honest, unpredictable, surprising and FUN content!

Politics, music, pop culture, current affairs, comedy, video gaming & tech, viral videos that speak to us and for us, just like Ed.

Yes, this means the return of Fromage in a weekly series called The Cheesy History of Music Videos and an updated Speakers Corner called Speakers Bureau, a new game show in the vein of the classic Test Pattern series and more returning favourites and faces, like Rick Campanelli and Rainbow Sun Francks, and expect Strombo to drop by too.

But FU_Network uses the past as fuel for the future, and we have a slate of brand-new content with fresh new faces that are building their careers in front of our eyes. You can find a listing of some of the new shows at funetwork.tv.

Shooting the Sh*t, the world's first celebrity talk show from a public bathroom; Brew Wizards Beer Quest mixes craft beer & comedy; Mensplaining is men talking to men about being men with a strong dose of humour; Lady Bits is video games meets women's issues; Is This Racist? looks at modern race issues with a sharp satirical edge; FU_Politics is a pundit-free zone talking about issues with humour & common sense; Hey Ladies is women talking to women the way women really talk, aided by a shared bottle of wine. These are the tip of the iceberg, there is much more to come, including Ed the Sock's Fromage spin-off series, No BS Biographies.

The FU_Network is more than an online channel, it's an attitude, an energy, a spirit that's been absent in Canadian media since the end of Muchmusic. We all miss it, we all need it back and we're going to join together to make it so.

Become a backer of the future of Canadian media by Canadians, for Canadians, that the rest of the world can share in too. Your support will go to buying us cameras and livestream equipment that doesn't constantly break down, microphones without duct tape holding them together, locations we can do our shoots from and some cash to keep our staff eating and Ed supplied with cheap cigars.

Join the campaign - It's time to see media stop throwing fits and start throwing Christmas trees off roofs.
