As we approach our 6th birthday at The Simpsons Channel, I thought we could reflect on the past year. On this day in 2002 I took a gamble to take the site in a huge new direction. Once being a haven for links and web news, in the space of 24 hours we rebranded ourselves as a site offering the latest show news. This was to be a trial for two months, which would result in closure had it not been a success. The gamble paid off. One year on, 410000 visitors later, the site has a following that we had not experienced in the first 5 years. A year ago I questioned renewing the domain. This year, there’s no maybe about it. You’ve kept me updating for 365 days without losing interest. Here’s to another year. The Simpsons Channel. Your source for Simpsons news.
