Pluto TV: Whatever Happened to the Eye Candy Channel?

TV Answer Man, do you remember the Eye Candy channel? I think it was on Pluto. Where can we watch it now? It had a bunch of beautiful women dancing on the beach. Thanks in advance and keep up the great updates! — Tony, Las Vegas.
Tony, Pluto TV, the free, ad-supported streaming service, carried The Eye Candy Channel from 2015 to 2020. Produced by a Southern California company called Kaloopy, the Eye Candy Channel featured one video after another of a beautiful woman in various states of undress, dancing, jumping, and sometimes, rolling around the floor or beach in apparent imminent discovery of some kind of epiphany.
In April 2020, Pluto removed the channel without explanation. But Kaloopy issued a statement:
“As of April 14 Kaloopy will no longer be The Eye Candy Channel on Pluto TV. We enjoyed the last 5 years of running the content on the channel. As with all good things they must come to an end. We’re working on putting up the videos on many new platforms and will be announcing them in the coming weeks.”
If I had to guess, which I sometimes am forced to do in this space, I would say the change had something to do with Pluto TV’s new owner, Viacom, which in 2019 assumed control of the service. Perhaps Viacom didn’t like carrying a channel that some might view as an affront to women. But I am just speculating so don’t start calling Viacom and telling some secretary he or she is evil personified.
But there is good news for Eye Candy Channel devotees. The channel, which has been renamed Kaloopy, is now available at this web site, and a handful of streaming services including DistroTV, Rad and SelectTV. Click here to see Kaloopy’s web site for more information.
Tony, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!

Damn.
I hope AT&T adds this channel to ALL their TV Platforms.
So you keep crap like MTV or Teenage Brides on but remove girls in bikinis, guess we know what you really like.
all good things must come to an end? REALLY? If its a good thing then it should never end!
With all the gay and trans junk on pluto, the remove Eye Candy.
Screw Viacom, pluto channel gone from my Roku. They obviously want us to watch gays and lesbians. Which makes this regular man sick to my stomach.
Just removed Pluto tv
WE WANT KALOOOPY AND ALL ITS BEAUTIFUL HUMANITY
Lol. Did Ru Paul have something to do with this? Either him or Christians. Seeing so much religious crap now…
Removed Pluto TV
I am a bit pissed. I appreciate Pluto TV. But really taking away Eye Candy and replacing it with that stupid train thru Norway? When you look across the different channels it is hard to understand why. You didn’t remove the THC channel. People just smoking bud on tv. I can mention others and I’m not hating, but please reconsider for GOD sake and ours too. Your loyal fans.
Yeah…points made very well. Remove Eye Candy but leave RuPaul etc….Makes no sense at all. seriously!??
About time! Never did get the point of that channel. Thanks PlutoTV!
Back to regular porn, I guess.
just removed pluto!
It was just for SJW cookie points. They removed it but replace it with See Her, a channel dedicated to women empowerment crap. But they didn’t touch the Baywatch or DCC Making the Squad (a bunch of half naked cheerleaders “dancing”) channels, which tells you Eye Candy was targeted.
I deleted Pluto TV as soon as eye candy disappeared. I will not support viacom in its promotion of only homosexual people. I have seen enough men kissing men to last me 12 lifetimes. Pluto TV is dead to me and I hope it dies a sudden death for other viewers.
I agree fully just got my Roku back up and why can I see the lesbians and gay kissing and not the beautiful human body. Way to political abnormal correctness. Viacoms gonna ruin something else like the corporate bohemoths.Oh and yeah,really keeping THC channel and removing my relaxation channel Kaloopy?!.
I was flippin through and I noticed they also removed the conspiracy channel. F Viacom.
They moved to DistroTV A free android T.V app like Pluto or you can watch on YouTube
yes distro tv app for roku or online at https://www.kaloopy.com/kaloopy
I was sorry to see it go, but I’ve never met a gay or trans person who objected much to jiggling women, so don’t blame them; I never see any such content on Pluto because unlike some, I don’t go looking for it in order to get a hate-on. As for The High Channel still being up, it was removed about a month later so it’s pretty clearly a matter of ‘respectability’ rather legality, [sexual] morality (as per the cheerleader channel still being up there), or politics.
As others have mentioned, the Kaloopy stream shows-up on distro.tv, home of understandably obscure movies, political nut-case streams, and South Asian channels the political nut-cases would probably combust to watch. No sign of The High Channel, which admittedly was pretty boring except for these short videos showing bullets being made, a pressure-washer being used, parking-lot lines being painted, u.s.w..
