Channel Frederator Blog

Next Tuesday, June 10, is the day we announce the winners of the 2008 Channel Frederator Awards. Just like in 2007 it was an embarrassment of riches, and I’m sure when you voted, just like all of us, it was hard making a decision in every category.

Everyone has their own list, but it all adds up to happiness, doesn’t it? I mean, why cartoons? What other choice do we have?
