There is Dumont and America's Talking and Trio. What are some other stations that are no longer around.

The Overymyer Network/United Network in 1967. Was only on the air for about a month before it folded.

Wow, I didn't expect this thread to mention America's Talking. I watched that all the time, and even called into the show "Bugged!" every so often. It folded, and is now what we know as MSNBC.

I am not surprised. Very few people remember it (probably because very few people watched its one and only program). It was actually the follow-up to an earlier effort to create a "network" that would provide four hours of programming to 15 affiliates for Sunday nights only.

The Nashville Network which is now Spike TV.

And between the two it was The National Network.

I remember that channel. It got replaced on our cable by CNN Headline News.

Oh yes... the channel I want to love, but they play too many stupid documentaries about things people don't care about on weekends. :mad:
