Please read this document. It contains important information on using this font.

CHANNELS is a specialized font, useful for anyone involved in printing TV listings on a regular basis. In addition to containing a very readable condensed font, it includes symbols similar to those you would find on most TV-listings pages in your daily newspaper. I had to rearrange a few keys to accommodate the cable listings  the ampersand (&), exclamation mark (!), bullet () and dollar sign ($) characters. I hope this doesnt cause any severe problems.
I tried to include most popular cable stations, including the new SciFi and Cartoon Networks. If I have omitted any important stations, my apologies. Please drop me E-Mail and I will try to include them in a possible future update.
This version of CHANNELS is in TrueType format. A Postscript Type 1 version is also available.
I would welcome your suggestions/comments concerning this font. If you use this font on a professional level (i.e., in material that is distributed for profit), a shareware fee of $14.95 per copy is requested. You may distribute or upload this file to other bulletin boards providing this README file is included.

To type hollow television stations, use the OPTION+SHIFT with the top row of numeric keys for stations 2-13. For other stations, use the OPTION+SHIFT with the special keys on the right side of the main keyboard [dash, =, o, p, l, semicolon or apostrophe keys] to type the TV screen with the specific numeral. Immediately after this keystroke, type the second digit of the station by using OPTION+SHIFT+one of the numeric keys. For example, to type the 24 shown above: Type OPTION+SHIFT+= and then OPTION+SHIFT+4 (no space between the two keystrokes). Manual kerning not necessary! 

To type solid television stations, use the OPTION key with top row of numeral keys for stations 2-13. For other stations, use the SHIFT key with the special keys on the right side of the main keyboard [open or closed brackets or < keys] to type the TV screen with the specific numeral (1-3). Change the color of your type to WHITE or PAPER and type the second digit of the station by using OPTION+SHIFT+one of the top-row numeric keys. For example, to type the 24 shown above: Type SHIFT+] ; change the color of your type to WHITE; then OPTION+SHIFT+4 (again, no space between the two keystrokes). Make sure you change the color of your type back to BLACK.

Refer to KeyCaps or a similar application for complete keyboard layouts.
