Sunset Network

Sunset Network (also known as Sunset) is a Circlian television network that launched in October 30th, 2000 and began transmitting on November 1st of the same year. The channel is aimed at all ages.

On November 23rd, 2005, the channel was spun off into a radio station named Sunset FM.

Launch
On September 7th, 2000, Japanese network WOWOW reached out to the recently-formed and dormant Tune Networks in circlia, to begin broadcasting a counterpart of the former in Circlia. The channel was meant to be aimed at all ages, airing cartoons, anime, live-action programming and family-friendly movies.

The channel was supposed to launch in October 25th, but was pushed to the 30th for unexpected reasons. The channel officially launched on the latter date, although it didn't broadcast anything. If you turned on the channel on that date, you'd be greeted with a message saying:

"Stay tuned, Sunset Network will start broadcasting tommorow!

明日から放送開始の「SUNSET NETWORK」をお楽しみに！"

The next day, Sunset Network started its first ever broadcast. It signed on at 5:00 AM, with the Circlian anthem being played over recordings of many Circlian landmarks. It ended with the Sunset Network logo being played over a greeting of the network, with a "first impression" as to what the network will be.
