NightHouse

The NightHouse (commonly referred to as NightHouse; and formerly known as Gingo Underworld) is the adult-oriented nighttime programming block of the American children's subscription network Gingo. It broadcasts every night from 10 p.m.- 6 a.m. (Eastern and Pacific Time). It is similar in format to Adult Swim, the late-night block on Cartoon Network, and Teletoon at Night, the former late-night block on Canadian TV channel Teletoon and features animated and live-action shows targeting a 17-34 audience.

Origins
NightHouse's roots lie from former a program block that aired on Gingo: Gingo at Nite. In September 2002, Gingo Underworld debuted to compete with Adult Swim in ratings, with all-new branding created by Cartoon Pizza. For the start of the 2004-2005 season, a new Friday night companion block, F-World, debuted, featuring a slightly different lineup. In 2005, most of the shows that were featured on "F-World" were removed to make room for the "UnderMovie" segment, which aired on Thursdays and Fridays at 12:00 a.m. EST, followed by a repeat of the earlier film telecast. Since NBC was merged with Universal in 2004, several of NBC's shows were crossprogrammed onto other networks, which include NightHouse and USA Network. Notable examples were This is Us and Heroes.

On September 1, 2006, the block amended its name to NightHouse. Along with a time configuration, with the block now airing every night from 12:00 a.m to 4:00 a.m.

From 2016-2018, the block was broadcast Monday to Thursday nights from 12:00 a.m to 6:00 a.m and from 11:00 p.m to 6:00 a.m on weekends. As of October 2018, it airs every night from 10:00 p.m to 6:00 a.m.

Controversy
Despite being a block made for adults, the block was also involved into controversy.

The first of the controversial NightHouses occurred on May 4, 2003 when an episode of the show Wings was aired, which uproar controversy for anti-patriotism, which led NightHouse to remove the series.

There are many controversies aired, especially during many anime series.

When NightHouse is airing Medium episodes, a lot of kids were scared causing the show to be controversial and decided to remove the show in 2011.

It was reported the settlement of a class action suit on May 29, 2012. Originally brought against NightHouse on November 10, 2011, the suit accused the block of using its advertisements which featured a 4chan post from an anonymous user that no one wanted anybody seeing on public. This led to many adults not watch the block, which to the block being ranked as the #1 lowest rated programming block of 2012 and 2013. Gingo even stated due to this, that the NightHouse programming block and website would end operations by the end of 2013, though never happened.

In the May of 2013, though Gingo said they will avoid closing NightHouse, another controversy happened, this time, during an episode of Cops. Though it has a scene where a black guy is trapped. Gingo responded and the channel successfully avoided ending operations, though NightHouse continues to live on.
