Originally created by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab in Los Angeles, Channel 101 is the premiere platform for amateur filmmakers to shoot five-minute TV shows that get screened by a live audience and voted on for renewal or cancellation.

Apiary pal and unofficial correspondent sent us the winners' list and a few highlights: "John Gemberling presented the best show award; Rob Lathan was a hilarious host performing a musical number at the beginning; Ed Mundy (Adult Swim) recieved lifetime achievement award; I ripped off Obama's 'Yes, We Can' speech when we accepted our award; and my parents came." Ed Mundy also chimed in to say: "Rob Lathan did an awesome job hosting; Chioke Nassor directed an opening song/dance number; and we had lots of original videos that will be posted online in the next few days."
