Midnight Channel

The Midnight Channel, or Mayonaka TV, is a term recurring in Persona 4. The stuff of urban legends, its existence is spread through the town of Yasoinaba through rumors.

The Urban Legend
Chie Satonaka told the protagonist and Yosuke Hanamura about the urban legend of the Midnight Channel while they were eating at Junes Food Court.


 * "It is said that if one would stare at the screen of a closed television, alone, at midnight during a heavy rain, one could see their soulmate."

Chie also pointed out that she heard a student had seen the Midnight Channel, claiming that his soulmate was a famous tv reporter. The three then agreed to find out if the urban legend was true.

The protagonist stays up until midnight, and stared at the tv in his room. Suddenly, blurred images of a female student appeared. When he touched the screen, his hand was sucked into it. Luckily, the tv he had was too small, and his body could not fit. He pulled away his hand and went to bed.

Beginning from this, the protagonist was able to enter the Midnight Channel at any time. He discovered this when he, Chie and Yosuke went to check out the televisions at the Junes Department Store. All three entered into a large screened television, into the Midnight Channel.

Profile
The Midnight Channel looks like a television studio, with large floodlights spread all over the place. A heavy fog blankets the area, but at certain times, the fog clears, and this is when Shadows began to emerge. The party discovers that Teddie is a resident in this world.
