The Burly Bear Network was an American cable TV channel targeted at 18- to 24-year-old college students. Programming was offered on some university TV stations, including Arizona State University, Ball State University, Iowa State University, Northern Kentucky University, Purdue University, the University of Dayton, the University of Missouri, Berry College, and Indiana University East in Richmond, as well as late nights on the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS).[1]
