- Kimmo Nikkanen
Kimmo Nikkanen was the original host and resident game-critic of the now-defunct Finnish cable-channel
MoonTV . During the early airings of the show Nikkanen, assisted byJarno Sarkula andThomas Puha , was the primary host and critic for the line-up of game-related programs. The original line-up featured:
* Peliuutiset, game-news which was later picked up by hostMiika Huttunen
* PC-Peliluola, which reviewed the latest PC-games, later hosted by Jarno Sarkula.
* PSX-Peliluola, which reviewed the latestPlaystation 1 releases, later hosted by Thomas Puha.
* PPPS-Peliluola, which was more general gaming-magazine program which would also feature interviews with game developers. Parts of the program were in English only and were hosted by Thomas Puha.Of the original line-up programs Nikkanen wasn't involved in the making of the "Top-10" chart-show which was hosted by Jarno Sarkula, then under the alias "Godzilla". Nikkanen's final appearance on the channel was on "PPPS-Peliluola" where he also showed his face for the first time. Though Nikkanen was fairly popular during his early tenure on MoonTV his obvious lack of English-speaking skills was a constant subject for criticism by viewers.
