Fishcam
Fishcam refers to a broadcast consisting of a video camera pointed at a fish tank.
Australia
Channel 31 Melbourne, Australia, had one of the more famous and long-lasting Fishcams. The Fishcam itself was originally used as a replacement to the more common testcards, shown when the station had nothing else to air. Due to extreme popularity though, the FishCam became an actual scheduled show on the network. The station has also released several VHS tapes of the program. The broadcast was accompanied by the music of unsigned Melbourne musicians.
Rumours have abounded amongst fans that Channel 31 has played repeats of this program while it has continued to be labelled "live".
From 4 March 2007 the broadcasting of FishCam on Channel 31 has ceased.
On October 13, 2014 FishCam returned at the new time of 9 pm hosted by Luis from Lessons with Luis.
Canada
When St. John's television station NTV first commenced 24-hour broadcasting in the early-1970s, one of its overnight programs was a continuous shot of a fish tank.
