The Family Channel is an American general entertainment television network owned by Get After It Media (formerly Luken Communications and Reach High Media Group), and based in Chattanooga, Tennessee .[ 2] [ 3]
History
In September 2008, ValCom announced that they would purchase the assets of Faith TV , relaunching it as a more broadly-distributed family television network.[ 4] On December 15, 2008, ValCom deal to purchase Faith TV closed and they relaunched Faith TV as My Family TV.[ 5] On October 1, 2009, ValCom completed the purchase of the network after making its final $250,000 payment.[ 6] The network had no connections with the similarly-named MyNetworkTV programming service, owned by Fox Television Stations .
On March 22, 2011, ValCom announced that My Family TV would become a joint venture with Luken Communications.[ 2] [ 3] Many of the programs seen on My Family TV, such as Route 66 , Lassie , Highway to Heaven and Daniel Boone also aired on sister network RTV .
In December 2013, Luken Communications rebranded MyFamilyTV as The Family Channel.[ 7] "The Family Channel" name was formerly used by the cable channel owned by Christian Broadcasting Network that became Freeform (now owned by Disney 15 years later) in January 2016; outside of some shared public domain programming once aired in the CBN/Family Channel era of Freeform, the two networks have no relation to each other.
