Joey Cato created MyRetroTVs.com in 2014 to serve as a digital time machine. The interface mimics an old cathode-ray tube television set from the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s. You choose a specific year and channel using the physical buttons on the screen. The platform instantly streams original television commercials, local news blocks, cartoon lineups, and music videos from that exact era. It preserves broadcast history by organizing millions of public video clips into era-appropriate schedules.
