Trouble is a television station in the UK and Republic of Ireland, owned by Flextech. It fully replaced The Children's Channel from 4 April 1998, prior to the start of Sky Digital.
Trouble has a key demographic of young adults and teenagers, aged between 15-24. The channel shows a lot of American and Australian imports, with only a small margin of programs being British. The channel has had success in recent times, with acquisitions such as My Wife and Kids, One On One, Grounded for Life, Summerland, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, That '70s Show to name a few. It also shows some dramas such as Life As We Know It and The Secret Life of Us.
The channel recently underwent a rebrand in mid-2006, with the number placement of the channel chaning on Sky Digital from 607 in 'Kids' to 201 in 'Entertainment' as a move to make it seem more teenage orientated.
