Example of a Featured Channel on YouTube

Here's an example of a featured channel on YouTube. This is the channel page for The Young Turks, a news and opinion channel. You can only see five other featured channels, but they actually have featured twelve other channels on their channel page under the title "TYT Network". 

Another thing you may have noticed is that the featured channels section is titled "TYT Network", this is because YouTube gives creators the ability to add a unique title to the featured channels section.
