Welcome Alien Viewers!
Subject: Welcome Alien Viewers!
Blippo+ is pleased to announce a brand new channel, Salutation Station.
Salutation Station is our intergalactic welcome service, providing information, news, and educational programs for our new viewers on the alien planet. We know Blippian culture is unfamiliar to you, so we've created some simple, easy-to-understand programs to get you up to speed.
Learn our language on Bliptionary, catch up with our science on CUBIS, and hear from some real-life Blippians on Do You Party?
There's no better wat to get to know us than through our television. We look forward to a long and fruitful cultural exchange between our worlds.
Stay Tuned,
Lisa Duo

Thoughts and Feelings
Subject: Thoughts and Feelings
We at Blippo+ would like to take this opportunity to express our profound sympathies to the families of the five missing Bendonauts. The news of their disappearance into "Bent Space" has concerned us all, and we stand by their loved ones during this difficult time. We are watching the skies with you.
As always, please stay tuned to Blippo+ for breaking news on this and other stories.
Sincerely,
Lisa Duo
Your Television Executive
Get the Facts
Note: this shows up in week 4 if you have updated Blippo+ to the latest version 1.0.4
Subject: Get the Facts
We at Blippo+ understand that the present uncertainty regarding the fate of our missing Bendonauts is troubling to many. That's why we promise that on Blippo+, you can be sure you'll always get the facts. We take pride in our commitment to journalistic integrity, and ensure that our news teams have all the support they need to bring you the top stories affecting our planet-and beyond. Whether you get your news from trusted voices like Madeline Planet or from veteran commentators like Gidget Gadget or Neomie Lifto, you can rest assured they're telling it like it is.
Thoroughly Fact-Checked,
Lisa Duo
Your Television Executive
Honoring Our Heroes
Subject: Honoring Our Heroes
It is with profound sadness that we recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by the five missing Bendonauts, now presumed dead. Their bravery and dedication to advancing Blippian knowledge through exploration and discovery was immeasurable, and they have inspired countless individuals with their passion and courage.
We hope all Blippians will take the time to honor these brave explorers and the sacrifices they have made in the name of fostering an intergalactic community.
Mourning with you,
Lisa Duo
Your Television Executive
Goodbye, Aliens!
Subject: Goodbye, Aliens!
Due to the tragic events of the last few weeks, and the forthcoming decomissioning of the official Space Bending program under the strong recommendation of the Blippian Scientific Advisory Council, we have decided to remove the Salutation Station channel from Blippo+.
Although we have enjoyed producing educational content for our siblings across Bent Space, the impossibility of our planets ever making contact with one another has rendered this service irrelevant.
All apologies,
Lisa Duo
Your Television Executive
We Hear You
Subject: We Hear You
We know the arrival of the individual known as "Michael Zero" has a lot of people on Planet Blip talking. While we welcome fresh perspectives, rest assured that Blippo+ will continue its regularly-scheduled programming. Sometimes things can get a little "zapped," but we're committed to listening, learning, and evolving (or "bending") as we go. We urge all our viewers to take advantage of our Femtofax channels to speak up and share your perspective on how we're doing.
With apologies to our viewers on the alien planet, the Salutation Station channel will not be resuming broadcast at this time.
Stay Tuned,
Lisa Duo

Our Planet Could Be Your Life
Subject: Our Planet Could Be Your Life
Planet Blip is a real place. Just because we made it up doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's the thing about making up a better world for yourself and your friends-the more time you spend there, the more real it becomes. Whether you've been watching from Earth or from your own world, thank you for spending these last weeks in ours.
Sliming off,
The Bendonauts

Speculations and theories
- Lisa might be a reference to the Apple Lisa, and Duo might be a reference to the Apple Powerbook Duo.
- As mentioned, in week 4 the shown message was 1 week early for some people. The interesting aspect is this: in Week 3, we got a message that seems to be a week early as well: while the channels and the Messages from Lisa Duo are usually in sync, Messages in week 3 mentioned something that all the channels only mentioned in Week 4 - that the Bendonauts were lost. Was it originally intended that Week 3 had a different message?
