I really like looking into the history of TV networks and what they stood for. I always find it interesting looking back into different eras or Television and specific TV networks. One thing I always found interesting is when TV networks rebrand into other channels. I’m not talking about traditional rebranding as all networks do that at some point or another, but more so when TV channels shut down and get replaced or rebranded into another channel. Off the top of my head I can think of 3 big examples. Court TV shut down and became trutv, TechTV shut down and merged with G4, and Nick Gas shutdown to become Teennick. I’d like to see if there are any more networks that did that sort of thing. Do any of you know any other ones that I might’ve missed?
