Channel DDD (Japanese: チャンネルＤＤＤ/Channel DDD) was a scheme that was used by King Dedede to stop Kirby. It appears in multiple episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
At first, this television channel seemed to be just normal, it soon became clear what its real purpose was. Dedede and Escargoon presented an elaborate ruse that made everybody in Cappy Town believe that a monster was attacking Dream Land, when it was really just Escargoon in a costume. The citizens of Cappy Town were literally hypnotized, and caused all of the residents to attack Kirby, constantly uttering the phrase "Kirby must go away!". Even Kirby was hypnotized for a few moments.
In many more episodes after its debut, Channel DDD was used for some other purposes, such as news articles. However, these always seem to make Dedede look like a great guy or making Kirby and/or Escargoon look bad except for one instance where Dedede was accidentally hit by a giant pie, which made him look funny. Some shows Dedede makes are quite important to the episode.
