'''[[Action News|Action]] Cool 5''' is a local television station for [[Strong Badia]]. It was first created in the email [[local news]] when Dan asked [[Strong Bad]] if he had a news station, and he threw one together called "Strong Badia Action Cool News 5" in order to impress Dan.

"Action Cool 5", as shown in [[theme song]], also broadcasts other shows besides "Strong Badia Action Cool News 5". The shows broadcasted are ''Three is 4 Tonite'', shown weeknights at 7:30, 8:00, 9:30, 11:00, and 11:30, ''[[Cheat Commandos]]'', weekdays at "right now" [4:30], and ''[[Powered by The Cheat]]''. Strong Badia Action Cool News 5 presumably comes on after ''Powered by The Cheat''.

Each newscaster in "Strong Badia Action Cool News 5" is presented during the opening credits on [[Index Cards|index cards]], each held by [[The Cheat]]. The cards read "Strong Bad with Top Stories", "Sportscarster Strong Mad", "Meteorologist TIRE", and "THE FRIGGIN CHEAT", respectively. The Cheat also sings the theme song, which appears when the show opens and ends.

The "Action Cool News" logo includes a muscular arm appearing out of the "S" in "Strong Badia". This refers to [[Trogdor]], who has a "beefy arm" on the back of his S-shaped body. The slogan is "We're Investiga-Awesome".
