    Kix is a free-to-air children's television channel in the United Kingdom, owned by CSC Media Group. As of June 2014, it broadcasts cartoons, action and adventure series, extreme sports and music videos on Sky and Freesat. Its target audience is 7 to 12-year-old boys.

    History

    The AGB Nielsen Media Research website initially announced that the channel would be called Klix and be put on Sky, however, this was a mistake and the channel is in fact called Kix!. The correction was made with a new document, which stated that all the other details will remain the same as posted in the original article. At 06:00 on 19 May 2008, Pop +1 ceased broadcast and was directly replaced on-air with Kix content. Medabots was the first programme to be broadcast under the Kix! identity.

    Kix was the fourth dedicated kids' channel to be launched by CSC: its three sister channels are Pop which was launched on 29 May 2003, and shows cartoons and pop music videos for a mixed audience; Tiny Pop, which was launched on 27 July 2004, and shows cartoons for young children and pre-schoolers; and Pop Girl, launched on 6 August 2007, and also shows cartoons and live action shows but is aimed at a female-led audience. Some programmes which have aired on Kix have been screened on one or more of the sister channels as well.

    Kix (band)

    Kix is an American hard rock band that achieved popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Band members have continued to tour, including at the Rocklahoma festival in 2008 in Oklahoma and the M3 Rock Festival in May 2011 in the band's home state of Maryland.

    History

    Early years (1977–1987)

    Kix was formed by Ronnie Younkins, Brian Forsythe and Donnie Purnell in December 1977 in Hagerstown, Maryland. In 1981, they released their self-titled debut album, Kix, featuring "Atomic Bombs", "Heartache", "Contrary Mary", "The Itch", and "The Kid". "Love at First Sight" instantly became a concert favorite. "Kix Are for Kids" creatively merged the name of the band with two popular cereals of the 1960s and 1970s, Kix (that featured an atomic bomb commercial) and the Trix Rabbit ("Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"). "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" became the band's most popular concert song, always with a unique ad-lib performance by lead vocalist Steve Whiteman, of Piedmont, WV. With this album, the tongue-in-cheek rock and roll style of Kix was established.

    Wahoo, guess who's back?
    Mommy, we're home
    Say hello to my little friends
    DJ Muggs, Soul Assassins, Cypress Hill
    Everybody, put your hands where my eyes can see
    Everywhere we go people know that we roll deep as fuck
    Fourty fifty Samoans, they knowing when D-Bo was 50
    Tweezy, Obie there won't be no hoe in us
    They pop shit like they gon do shit but no one does
    From New York down to Texas, back up to Los Angeles
    We've changed the way we move so man up if you can't adjust
    You may end up getting rushed by too many to handle us
    It's funny, I guess money does have its advantages
    And it isn't that we just think that we can't be touched
    It's not like we're just feeling ourselves that much
    It's just, that if someone ever does put us in the clutch
    We just know that y'all ain't gon be the one who's gon do it
    'Cause first of all you're pussy and everybody can see that
    You fuck around, get caught in a spot that you shouldn't be at
    That you got no business being in, we ain't even gon be in it
    No one's gunna hear nothing, no one's gunna see this shit
    And they'll be in and up out of it, them boys is bout it, bout it
    The noise from [unverified] be drowned out by the crowd
    And you'll be laying on the ground getting trampled by people dancing
    Till the club closes and clears out
    And that's when they see you flatened
    Nobody saw it happen, all 'cause your jaws are flapping
    And you couldn't stop yapping and took it past rapping
    It ain't about the music no more, it's 'bout trying to show off
    And it feels like any minute the bomb is 'bout to go off
    Shit's about to change, 'cause we ain't playing no games
    We ain't budging neither are they, we ain't saying no names
    Shit just ain't the same, when the Aks gettin' sprayed
    'Cause hip hop is in a state of 911
    It ain't about hip hop, 'cause those days are gone
    It ain't about trying rip shots, to get props no more
    It's about trying not to get popped and get dropped to the floor
    'Cause hip hop is in a state of 911
    Step off my holster 'cause shit it's getting serious
    All theses drugs you be fucking with make you delirious
    Thinking you coming with heat, yo son, I'm curious
    How long are you gunna hate us and judge us and jury us?
    Some people can never fade us, that make us so furious
    Mistake us for fakers, homie we greater and glorious
    We living for real and others just making the stories up
    Allusions are broken, so live it up, you corny fucks
    If you take a fucking minute to think about what you've done
    When you stood against a gangsta who live and die by the gun
    Got a hot one, spraying you bitches till there is none
    I'm like a rolling stone homie, I got you under my thumb
    Silly little bitches can end up right up in ditches
    We cut you and give you stitches, for envy and all my riches
    Your game's just like a midget, you're clocking a small digit
    Dealing with the Giant Goliath, people that's how we live it, c'mon
    About to change, 'cause we ain't playing no games
    We ain't budging neither are they, we ain't saying no names
    Shit just ain't the same, when the Aks gettin' sprayed
    'Cause hip hop is in a state of 911
    It ain't about hip hop, 'cause those days are gone
    It ain't about trying rip shots, to get props no more
    It's about trying not to get popped and get dropped to the floor
    'Cause hip hop is in a state of 911
    Uh, gangsta Ganxsta who come to pay you a visit
    On this shit you call hip hop, this function is where did it
    When I put it in motion, my focus is getting branded
    My appetite for destruction is blasted because I said it
    Got you stumbling for cover, this music dying in numbers
    But you wouldn't pause and wonder, admitting it's all glamor
    When you enter the business you thinking you running shit
    You witness that funny shit, your bitches they ain't shit
    We gangstas we blast first, ask questions later
    All these imitators parading like they some playas
    Trying to save hip hop the task is something greater
    'Cause we old fashioned coded with loyalty motivaters
    Get caught, I'm not telling, or more like killing not caring
    I'm riding a gangsta feeling, no fearing when gangstas dying
    I'm in a full circle with homies that's supposed to bleed
    On an 8 Mile mission with Cypress and O.G.'s
    About to change, 'cause we ain't playing no games
    We ain't budging neither are they, we ain't saying no names
    Shit just ain't the same, when the Aks gettin' sprayed
    'Cause hip hop is in a state of 911
    It ain't about hip hop, 'cause those days are gone
    It ain't about trying rip shots, to get props no more
    It's about trying not to get popped and get dropped to the floor
