The Fireplace Channel is so passé, now it’s all about the Rotisserie Channel.

Yes, you read that right: The Rotisserie Channel — a channel that’s dedicated to showing spinning, cooking chickens 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The channel will be launched Feb. 28 on channel 208. Unlike the Fireplace Channel, which launched an HD version on Rogers at Christmas, the Rotisserie Channel will only be available in standard definition.

Rogers was approached with the idea by the Swiss Chalet chain of restaurants and their advertising firm, BBDO Toronto. While Rogers has other 24/7 channels — the Aquarium Channel and the Sunset Channel — this is the first time a company has approached the cable company with their own proposal.

“We were really excited,” Mark Daprato, Swiss Chalet’s vice-president of business development said about the company’s reaction when the idea was brought to them by BBDO.

Discussions about the Rotisserie Channel have been in the works for a couple months, he said. After the restaurant’s recent commercial, which shows an employee filming the rotisserie chickens for a TV channel, Swiss Chalet began to engage with its customers online to see if they would like a real rotisserie channel. Daprato said they had great online reaction to the idea.

Rogers spokeswoman Kathy Murphy said the company has gotten positive feedback from their customers about the Fireplace Channel. What the reaction will be about the Rotisserie Channel remains unknown.

“We don’t want to count our chickens before they hatch,” Murphy said, “this is a first for us.”

While the Swiss Chalet is behind the channel, Daprato said the station will remain “largely unbranded.” A coupon code will pop up on it once in awhile for users to key into the restaurant’s Facebook page for a deal.

“We really want this to be about celebrating rotisserie chicken,” Daprato said. “This is what we do. We serve chicken Canadians love.”

Swiss Chalet has begun promoting the channel with a YouTube video (below) released Wednesday on its Facebook page.

Murphy said Rogers will monitor feedback from its customers about the channel, which is set to run for 13 weeks.

For those who do not get Rogers cable, the Rotisserie Channel will also be available on Swiss Chalet’s website.

Not sure if it's Ontario only though...

:fuckyea:

:fappery: :fappery: :fappery: :fappery:

the chicken will taste so bad after some 24/7 roasting....all dried out.

AWESOME! Now if only i can put my hands into the tv and grab a leg then that will be definately full of win

That's a stupid idea... It will make me so damn hungry... and I won't be able to eat it :(

great marketing for them. everytime i see a swiss chalet commercial my mouth starts watering. 24/7 rotisserie channel with no food at home would be hell

:haha: this is gonna be great !!

Yeah, Christmas Vacation. As soon as someone mentioned dry turkey that's what came to mind

swiss chalet sucks they are overrated. Their servings are so minimal its like every time i go there, inside im really hoping for a bigger chicken leg/breast and i dont get it

This was stolen from 99.3 the fox

Totally remind me of this episode when I read the article

The Fox wanted a BBQ one...or bacon or something...

costco rotisserie chicken is the best.

I'm disappointed.

For some reason, I kinda expected more. :(
