American television network
Network One logo
Network One was a small "independent" network, consisting of mostly low-powered television stations , scattered across the Continental United States , similar to Urban America Television , America One , or the better-known Ion (formerly PAX) . The network officially launched on December 1, 1993,[ 1] around the same time as Channel America and the American Independent Network , but shut down on November 13, 1997.[ 2]
"Alternative" programming
Focusing on "alternative" programming, the network consisted of various B-Grade movies , beauty pageants , anime , and episodes of the series Night Flight and Bohemia Afterdark [ 3] (a Portland, Oregon-based Music Video show). Classic episodes of the 1950s "hard-boiled " crime drama Lock-Up with Macdonald Carey were featured as well. Commercials were filled with advertisements for 1-900 chat lines with a more mature focus.
List of affiliates
Most affiliates have either gone independent , switched affiliations to another television network , or have simply gone off the air. Some, however, have simply turned into rebroadcasters for other stations.
