Shake! (formerly The Core and Milkshake! FM) was a television programming block shown by UK broadcaster Channel 5, original aimed at 8 to 15 year olds.

History [link]
The block originally ran between 2000 and 2007 under various names, and was launched as a new umbrella branding for older kids' programmes on Channel 5 following the earlier demise in 1999 of the Josie D'Arby-hosted weekend afternoon teen series The Mag[1].
The block launched in 2000 as "The Core", broadcasting Saturday afternoons. A number of original commisonmed programmes were created for the block , such as Harry and Cosh and Atlantis High, a number of imported teens shows were also used.
In Channel 5's major network relaunch of 2002 "The Core" was renamed to Milkshake! FM in January 2002, taking its name from the established Channel 5 preschool-age slot Milkshake!. This block aired in the mid-morning (circa 9am-noon) on Saturdays and Sundays, while a number of programmes aired during the core continued to be broadcast during Saturday afternoon. During late 2002, it was re-branded again as Shake!.
In 2006, Shake! was revamped with a new name - NGA - and links were now filmed on location. Shortly after the relaunch, Shake returned but was cut to airing on Sundays only, showing programmes aimed at a largely female audience, with the Saturday slot showing programmes aimed chiefly at boys, under the title NGA (No Girls Allowed), which as well as kids' action cartoons and adventure programmes, also included sports highlights and cut-down 'highlights' editions of The Gadget Show and Fifth Gear.
Shake and NGA were dropped in March 2007 due to Channel 5 moving investment away from the declining older kids/teens audience and re-investing in the more successful Milkshake! strand. On weekends, Milkshake! was extended to end at 10am with the remainder of the Shake/NGA slot given over to films and repeats of regular Channel 5 programming.

2009 revival [link]
In September 2009, it was announced that Channel 5 had entered into a strategic sponsorship with Disney to bring back Shake! [1]. Under the new arrangement, Disney would sponsor the block and also provide some Disney Channel programming for the slot. The move means terrestrial and Freeview users will be able to see shows such as Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place for the first time as a series. The presentation has returned as the same as used during 2002-2007, with new presenter Jen Pringle introducing programmes from a studio. Jen Pringle was used as the presenter of the slots[2]
The revived Shake! launched on Sunday 4 October 2009 at 10am with Snobs, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana and The Tribe. Snobs and The Tribe were previously screened during the earlier run of Shake!. The revival was used a trial run continued through to the end of 2009 until it became extended due to higher ratings, by 2011 the block has been dropped along with the broadcast of Disney shows.

Graffiti Bridge (album)
Graffiti Bridge is the twelfth studio album by American recording artist Prince and is the soundtrack album to the 1990 film of the same name. It was released on August 20, 1990 by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records.
The album was much better received in sales than the film, reaching #6 in the United States and #1 in the United Kingdom. Nearly every song on the record was written by Prince despite the handful of artists performing, including Tevin Campbell, Mavis Staples and The Time. The album produced the hit singles "Thieves in the Temple" and "New Power Generation", an anthem in two parts celebrating Prince's newly created backing band, The New Power Generation. The band would get its first official outing on Prince's next album, Diamonds and Pearls. Though its 17 tracks constituted a double album, the significance of this was obscured by the rising popularity of the CD format.
Evolution of the album
The concept for the album and film began as early as 1987, or possibly earlier, but kept getting delayed for various reasons. The title track was originally recorded during this period, hence the liner notes listing Sheila E. and Boni Boyer as performers on the track. In fact, nearly the entire album is composed of previously recorded tunes that were updated for this release.
Shake! (album)
Shake! is an album by the blues-rock group the Siegel–Schwall Band. Their third album, it was released in 1968 by Vanguard Records as a vinyl LP. It was later re-released as a CD, also on the Vanguard label.
Shake! was the group's last album to feature Jack Dawson on bass guitar and Russ Chadwick on drums.
Critical reception
On Allmusic, Cub Koda wrote, "Shake! was probably the group's second best album and certainly the one that came the closest to representing their live act.... Lots of fun and fireworks on this one, the sound of a band at the top of their game."
