I suspect they meant to type September 19, based upon this notice on
Time Warner's eastern Wisconsin system:

http://www.timewarnercable.com/Wisconsin/learn/programming/legalnotices/legalnoticeSE.html

In addition, from time to time we make certain changes in the services
that we offer in order to better serve our customers. The following
changes are planned: On 8/15 Sleuth becomes Cloo. On 8/28, TV Shows On
Demand will no longer be on 511. On 8/31, TWCable How To On Demand
joins the lineup on 456. On 9/19 American Life becomes Youtoo. On 9/27
Country Network will join the lineup on channel 988. On 9/29,
Photoshow TV will no longer be on 410.

ALN. YouToo, as I said, is an online social site a la F___book or

Wow, they're going to be as raunchy as Fuckbook?

Calculated risk for a channel like that.

They can get in line, like all those gwelbs allegedly to flame us over
a certain former Idol contestant. I live for this.

Service Electric, who's carried this channel for quite a few years,
refers to it in its (TV Guide-branded) interactive program guide as
YouTV.

Which is unfair to anyone else using the name elsewhere.

When I tried americanlifetv.com, another URL it owns, it trapped to
www.youtoo.com/betainvite, where the graphics suggested it is an
online TV creature in the social-site world. Nothing else on the page
save spaces to enter one's name/email to register therefor. No, I'm
not going to.

To clarify, as the American Life Network (or ALN), or as Youtoo? Actually, I
have seen ALN for a while, as besides being a cable channel, it has been
carried by some of the smaller TV stations in the smaller markets in the
country. Until research, I believed ALN was still owned by the Unification
Church (the folks who own the Washington Times).

Anyway, the new network looks to be a better distributed, but worse looking
RightNetwork.

The American Life Network link in Google takes you to the YooToo
signup page. I did a whois search for youtoo and came up with a guy in
Plano, TX who registered the site with Go Daddy. A further search
shows the guy who registered the site is in charge of online marketing
and technology for American Life TV.

Well, according to Wikipedia, the network is going to officially relaunch on
September 29... or as it was written, On September 29, 2011, the channel
rebranded as Youtoo, with a focus on mobile devices; as of that date, all
links to the website redirected to a page inviting viewers to sign up for
the new service, because Wikipedia is written by time-travelers from the
future. Of course, that's the one bit of information that doesn't have a
citation or anything. And well, searching for the network in Google or
GoogleNews has proven useless (though Google is no longer correcting
Youtoo into YouTube). The only news article I have seen is of a small
cable system dropping ALN because it turned into Youtoo.

This is possibly the first network whose birth is not chronicled by some
sort of press release somewhere.

Looking at the listed programs, (which I confirmed some via the electronic
cable guide), I am now thinking Youtoo is an elaborate joke.

Good job there, unseen humorist. You obviously spent a lot of money but you
completely fooled me all day. Congratulations.
