Pop is a basic American cable and satellite television network operated as a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Lionsgate Entertainment. This is a public entertainment channel, with a primary focus on programs related to popular culture.
The network was originally conceived in 1981 as a barker channel service that provides local channel display and program listings for cable television providers. Then, the Prevue Channel or Prevue Guide service and then as Prevue , begin broadcasting the interstitial segment next to the onscreen guide, which includes entertainment news and promotions for upcoming programs. After the parent company of Prevue, United Video Satellite Group, acquired a TV entertainment magazine in 1998 (UVSG in turn, was acquired by Gemstar in the following year), the service was relaunched as a TV Channel Guide (later TV Guide Network ), which now features long programs dealing with the entertainment industry, including news magazines and reality shows, along with red carpet coverage from major awards ceremonies.
After the acquisition of TV Guide Network by Lionsgate in 2009, the program began to switch to a general entertainment format with reruns of drama and sitcoms. The network was renamed to TVGN after the acquisition of a 50% stake in the network by CBS Corporation. At the same time, as its original purpose became obsolete due to the integrated programming guidance offered by the digital television platform, the network began to shrink and eliminate its program listing services; As of June 2014, there was no network train contract requiring a list view, and they were removed entirely from the high definition simulation broadcast. In 2015, the network was renamed Pop.
Pop is available for 73.8 million households in America in January 2016.

Histori
1980s
Panduan program elektronik
Launched in 1981 by United Video Satellite Group, the network began life as a simple electronic program software (EPG) software application sold to cable system operators throughout the United States and Canada. Known only as Electronic Program Guides , the software is designed to run in the headend facility of each participating wiring system on a specially modified consumer class computer provided by United Video. The grid list of rolling programs, which broadcast cable operators to subscribers on a dedicated channel, covers the entire screen and provides a four-hour list for each system-wide, one-and-a-half hour set of channels per period. Therefore, the listing for the current program is often minutes from displayed. Additionally, since EPG software only generates video, cable operators generally use EPG feed feeding with music from local FM radio stations, or with programming from cable-oriented audio service providers such as Cable Radio Network.
In 1985 and under the Trakker, Inc. unit newly formed from United Video Satellite Group, two versions of EPG are offered: EPG Jr., 16KB EPROM version running on various Atari models including 130XE and 600XL, and EPG Sr. , a bootable version of 3½ for the Amiga 1000. The list of raw programs for national cable networks, as well as for regional and local broadcast stations, is mass-fed from the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based mainframes for each EPG installation through 2400 baud data streams on the audio subcarrier WGN by United Video (which is also a distributor of WGN's national superhasi feed satellite). On some EPG installations, the blinking point next to the clock on the screen will indicate the exact reception of this data. By plucking data from this master feed only for the network actually carried by the cable system, each EPG installation is capable of producing a continuous visual display of program lists tailored to the channel channel of its local cable system (data that describes each channel's unique channel EPG is displayed also arriving via this parent feed).
Good EPG Jr. and EPG Sr. allowing cable operators to better tailor their operations locally. Among other functions, the scrolling speed of the list of printers can be changed and local text-based ads can be inserted. Each text-based ad can be configured to appear as a "scroll ad" (appears in the grid of the vertical scrolling list between its half-hour cycle) or as a "crawl ad" (appears in horizontal ticker tickers at the bottom of the screen). If no ads are configured as "ad crawling", the bottom ticker will not be displayed on the screen. On-screen appearance of both Jr. versions and Sr versions of EPG software differ only slightly, mainly because of differences in text fonts and ASCII graphical characters flying graphics extended between the underlying Atari and Amiga platforms.
Since no version of EPG software is capable of running a silent remote administration for locally customizable features, cable company employees are required to visit their headend facility to make all necessary adjustments to the software privately. Consequently, EPG channel viewers often see interrupted continuous lists without warnings each time a cable company technician opens his administrative menu to adjust settings, view diagnostic information, or hunt and parse new local text ads into menus created in a text editor.
EPG Jr. Units the Atari-based is wrapped with a blue rack that includes special-made electronics, such as UV-D-2 demodulator board Zephyrus Electronics Ltd., which transmit data translated from WGN data stream to Atari pin 13 Serial Input/Output (SIO) EPRG EPG Jr. software is connected to the Atari ROM cartridge port).
Guide screen-separated electronic program
In the late 1980s, the "upgrade" software option was offered by United Video to Amiga 1000 based EPG Sr. This latest version displays a list of programs that are identical in appearance to the EPG Sr version. the original, but limited to the bottom half of the screen. In this new separate screen configuration, which is the precursor of the Prevue Guide, the top half of the screen displays graphic and animated static or animated ads created locally by each cable system operator. Up to 64 such ads are supported by software, ranging from ads for local and national businesses to promotions for cable channels brought by the local system. However, locally-generated text-based ads are still supported, but now appear also at the top of the screen - support to display them in the listing list as a scroll ad, or below it as a crawl banner ad has been removed.
Although most cabling systems kept the original full-screen EPG operating properly until the early 1990s, several systems with large subscribers selected the EPG Sr version. which is enhanced to exploit the revenue potential of its local advertising capabilities. The Atari-based EPG Jr never received this separate screen upgrade and was disliked during the late 1980s when cable systems migrated to the Amigerbo 2000-based EPG-based screen, and then to the Amiga 2000 Prevue-based Guide. However, EPG Jr. is still operating until late 2005 on several small cable systems, as well as on a number of private cabling systems operated by various hotel chains and certain residential and apartment complexes.
Prevue Guide
In 1988, United Video Holdings' Trakker, Inc. unit renamed Prevue Networks, Inc. Separate screen version of EPG Sr. software further updated and renamed to " Prevue Guide ". Now running in Amiga 2000, it displays a separate screen list of visual screens identical to the EPG Sr. enhancements, but also supported - along with 128 locally incorporated top-screen graphical ads - video display with accompanying sounds at the top of the screen, especially promo for upcoming television shows, movies, and special events. These videos appear on the left or right of the top of the screen, plus additional information about the program advertised on the opposite side (program title, channel, date and time of day).
Make video integration a native Amiga 2000 video composition capability. All video content (and audio related) is provided directly by Prevue Networks via a special analogue C-Band satellite backhaul feed from Tulsa. This feed contains a list of national satellites at the bottom of the drawing (strictly as a courtesy to the owner of the C-band era cuisine), with the top half of the picture split horizontally into two, the two sections featuring promos for unrelated broadcasts different (the sound for each half is provided in the monoaural on the left and right audio channels of each feed).
In every cabling system headend facility, meanwhile, the Amiga 2000-powered Prevue Guide software overtakes the bottom of the satellite video feed frame with its own locally made grid list. It also continues to choose which of the two promos are available simultaneously at the top of the satellite feed image to let local cable customers see, patching sound through them while visually blocking out other promos (usually with text promoting next program airtime and cable channels). During the period in which the two simultaneous satellite feed promotions are for cable networks not carried by the local cable system, the local Prevue Guide software blocks both, fills the top of the screen with local text or graphic ads instead (either ads for local or national businesses , or promotions for channels that cable providers bring - displaying channel logos and additional information on the opposite side at the top). The national scheduling network of satellite feeds is never intended to be seen by cable subscribers. Sometimes, however, when the local cable program Prevue Guide software falls into Amiga Meditation mode, subscribers will be exposed to a full satellite video feed frame, letting them see not just two different promos simultaneously running in the upper half, but perhaps more confusingly, a national list network with satellite-oriented transponders at the bottom.
Ads - often for psychic hotlines - and featurettes produced by Prevue Networks, such as Prevue Tonight , voiced by Larry Hoefling (who served as network broadcaster from 1989 to 1993), were also sent through this satellite feed. For advertisements, as well as morning and morning infomercials, the top of the video frame of the feed will be fully loaded, with the installation of the local Prevue cable system. The local guide lets it be displayed in full in the anamorphic pillarbox screen format (multiple direct response ads) segregated into one frame area videos that display contact information in a blocked feed of an opponent, other than those provided in the ad). The satellite feed also carries a third audio channel containing the Prevue Guide theme music in unlimited circles. The local Prevue Guide installation will switch to this audio source during local top-screen ad display, and when they fall. The Prevue Guide can provide additional signal to the cable system's video playback equipment to replace the Prevue Networks satellite feeds entirely with up to nine minutes of video-based local premises per hour. Some cabling systems take advantage of this feature, however, because of the need to produce a special version of their local ad where, as with the satellite feed itself, all actions only occur at the top of the video frame.
Other features of the Prevue Guide are not available in the Sr. EPG version. the full and previously shared is the colored list background and the program's channel-by-program summary. Among the colored grid lines, which alternate blue, green, yellow and red with each half-hour list cycle, each cable operator can choose to activate a red or light blue (not black) background color for some channels of their choice. This background is commonly used to highlight premium channels and pay-per-view services. In addition, a program-by-program channel summary with a light gray background, up to four channels from each cable operator option, can be included in the scrolling grid. Appears between each four-hour list cycle, channel names (not times) will scroll up and slide to the grid header bar one by one (similar to the time bar that scrolls to the header at the beginning of each listing cycle), each followed up four hours worth of program-per-program list for that channel only. The Prevue guide can also display a graphical weather icon, accompanied by local weather conditions, in its rolling grid (as part of a segment known as Prevue Weather ). This insert is available to cable operators at an additional cost and appears after each 4 hour cycle cycle.
In the early 1990s, United Video began to push the cable system still using the full or split version of the Amiga 1000-based EPG Sr. to upgrade to the Amiga-based Prevue Guide 2000. Active support for EPG Sr. installations The 1000-based Amiga was discontinued in 1993. Like the Amiga 1000-based EGG, the Prevue Guide also runs from a bootable 3 ½ disk, and locally customizable features can still be configured only from local keyboards, which are subject to a maintenance-related interruption the same screen by a local cable company employee as before (remote administration of silent locally customizable features will not be added until "yellow network" appears shortly after the start of the TV Guide Channel era, when the Amiga Platform is completely abandoned). To support the new video and audio delivered by satellite by Prevue Guide, each of Amiga 2000 displays video card/genlock UV Corp. UVGEN for video feed satellite and Zephyrus Electronics Ltd 100 rev models. C demodulator/ISA card switch to manipulate the audio of the feed. Also included is Zephyrus Electronics Ltd model. 101 rev. C ISA demodulator card for WGN data stream, and Great Valley Card Product Zorro II A2000 HC 8 Series II (only used for 2 MB Fast RAM with SCSI disabled). The 101C feeds demodulated listings data at 2400 baud from the DE9 RS232 series connector on the backpanel to the Amiga port DB25 RS232 serial port via short cable. 101C also displays the connection terminal to trigger the closure of the external video equipment contact cable system.
1990s
Prevue Channel
Beginning in late March 1993, Prevue Networks overhauled the Prevue Guide software, this time to modernize its performance. Still operating on the same Amiga 2000 hardware, the old black grid background with white text separated by colored lines gives way to the newly emerging blue navy blue network featuring 90 minutes of scheduling information for each channel. The arrow symbols are added to the list for programs whose start or end time extends beyond that time period, and for viewers convenience, local cable operators can now configure grid scrolling actions to momentarily pause up to four seconds after each screen list. In addition, local cable operators can enable light sports and movie summaries in the grid. Appearing between each listing cycle, this shows all the movies and sporting events that aired on any channel for the next 90 minutes.
Summary of light gray programming for each channel, red and light blue channel highlight, and predicted "Prevue Weather" graphics previously available for cabling systems because the optional grid and insertion feature remain available in the same way as before. Closed captioning, MPAA movie ratings and VCR Plus logos are also added by this software version, and unlike previous versions, the large graphical Prevue Guide logo appears on its grid, between the list cycles. The old synthesized music interstitials that have been used since 1988 are also replaced by more modern works called "Opening Act", from James & amp; Aster music library.
At the end of 1993, the Prevue Guide was renamed to " Prevue Channel ," and the updated channel logo was unveiled to be matched. Beginning in early 1994 and up to the first few years as a TV Guide Channel, a licensed music production network (first one minute long, then 15- and 30-second) from several music libraries to use as interstitial music. Most of these music tracks are licensed from music library production Killer Tracks and FirstCom, both branches of Universal Music Publishing Group. In 1996, the Prevue Channel logo was given a new eye-like design, and two years later, the classic Dodger style letters whose logo had been incorporated since 1988 were replaced with the down-lettered Universe letter, although Sneak Prevue continued to use the original logo font until it closed in 2002. In 1997, Prevue Channel became the first electronic program guide featuring a formalized TV ranking symbol for Canada and the United States, which appeared with the program's title in the listing list, as well as in an additional section of scheduling information accompanied by a promo video that accompany it at the top of the screen.
During the mid-1990s, the Prevue Network also expanded beyond its Prevue Channel operation. In 1996, Prevue Network introduced its first integrated IPG digital terminal, Prevue Interactive, designed for the DCT General Instrument 1000. It was launched as part of the first digital cable service offering of Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI). In 1997, Prevue Networks and United Video Satellite Group also launched Prevue Online, a website that provides local television shows, audio/video interviews and weather forecasts. Another website, PrevueNet, was also launched to provide more history and useful information for Prevue Channels, as well as for Sneak Prevue, UVTV, and WGN/Chicago and WPIX/New York City superstations.
The new navy blue network version of the Prevue Channel software is highly prone to accidents as before. Flashing red Amiga "meditation teachers" mistakes (with double promo windows feeding raw satellites and a list of national satellite channels showing through from behind them) remain frequently seen on many cable systems throughout the United States and Canada. While Prevue Networks software engineers release patches regularly to fix bugs, it simultaneously becomes clear that an entirely new hardware platform will be needed soon. The new Amiga 2000 hardware was no longer manufactured by Commodore, which filed for bankruptcy in 1994, and Prevue Networks began to allocate parts from former used Amiga hardware dealers to continue supplying and maintaining operational units. During the period during which the availability of Amiga 2000 hardware proved inadequate, newer models such as the Amiga 3000 were used instead. However, since the model's stock cases will not receive a large inventory of companies from the Zephyrus ISA demodulator card, only their motherboards are used, in the case of specially designed modifications with riser and backplane cards.
Toward the end of the decade, on February 9, 1998, the Prevue Channel program was completely revamped. The new short-form "show" was introduced to replace Prevue Tonight, FamilyVue and Intervue. These include Prevue Family, like FamilyVue, focusing on family-oriented programming, Prevue Sports ( focusing on sporting events and also including schedule for today's tournaments and tournaments), Prevue TV , Prevue News and Weather (featuring national and international headlines and local weather forecasts) and Prevue Revue . Each segment lasts only a few minutes, but is displayed twice every hour.
TV Guide Channel
On June 11, 1998, News Corporation sold TV Guide to Prevue Networks group, United Video Satellite Group for $ 800 million and 60 million shares worth an additional $ 1.2 billion (following the previous merger between the two) the company in 1996 that finally fell apart). At midnight on February 1, 1999, Prevue Channel was officially renamed " TV Guide Channel ," and a new chart was implemented. With rebranding, the hourly segments displayed on the channel are modified, with some being rewritten after features in the magazine's TV Guide including TV Close-Up Guide (profiled as the program choice which aired that night), TV Guide Sportsview (which maintains the same format as Prevue Sports , makes the segment more similar in format to the section's sports guide than the color column of the name in magazines), and TV Guide Insider (segments featuring behind-the-scenes interviews).
On October 5, 1999, Gemstar International Group Ltd. bought United Video Satellite Group. Finally, throughout December of that year on a national cable system, a newly modernized yellow network began to replace the navy blue network that has been presenting a list of channels to viewers over the past six years. The dark blue network was completely removed in early January 2000. With the advent of the TV Guide Channel's yellow channel, all of the remaining Prevue Channel footprints have been eliminated: its Amiga-based hardware infrastructure is disabled, and specially built, Windows NT/2000 PCs using cards specially designed graphics/sound expansion installed. With this new infrastructure also appears the ability for local cable companies to do remote administration without sound from all locally customizable features of their installation, making the on-screen guard maintenance hints directly by cable system technicians a thing of the past.
The yellow grid also removes the optional red and blue background colors that previous local cable operators can assign to their various channels of choice. In their place, universal, color backgrounds based on genre are introduced. Sports events appear with a green background, and movies in all networks are given a red background. Pay-per-view events also appear with a purple background. The light gray background that previously appeared on the channel and the summary based on the program genre was also omitted, with the red, green, and purple codes now applicable to the summary as well.
Despite its removal as a branding for cable channels, the Prevue brand continues to exist in Canada in the form of various Prevue Interactive services - mostly branded versions of TV Guide Interactive products - as well as on the payment channel-a Sarkak Prevue barker service.
2000s
A few years after Prevue Channel completed the transition to the TV Guide Channel, the programming it displayed changed drastically. Long full performances are added, moving away from typical models featuring television previews and other information. Starting in 2005, Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa Rivers began providing coverage for television awards ceremonies such as the Emmy Awards and Academy Awards. In 2007, the mother-daughter duo was dropped by TV Guide Channel for the actress/host Lisa Rinna. Then, in 2007, Rinna joined fellow alumni of Dancing with the Stars (and former member of N * SYNC) Joey Fatone during the award presentation. On July 29th, 2009, TV Guide announced that Rinna and Fatone had been replaced by the host of Hollywood 411 entertainment news program Chris Harrison (The Bachelor's host) and Carrie Ann Inaba (who serves as a judge on Dancing with the Stars ).
Also with the transition from Prevue Channel to the TV Guide Channel, the nature of the list of services scroll list starts to change. During the broadcast of the original primetime series of channels as well as during the coverage of the red carpet award ceremony, programming began to appear almost entirely full screen, with a version of two channels of translucent, non-scrolling regular channels, occupying only the extreme bottom of the frame. The semi-regular redesign of the grid also happens, and support is added to display the local provider logo and graphical ads in it. Starting in 2004, a light blue background began to appear on the list for children's programs, complementing the red, green and purple background colors that have been applied to movie listings, sports events, and pay-per-click programming.
Because of the dominant position of Gemstar-TV Guide in the TV list market, the list for the original TV Guide Channel programming itself began appearing on the top line of most television list websites where the company provides list data, regardless of which channel number it assigns the system cable to it. This is also a problem with the printed version of TV Guide (which first started including a channel in its log list in 1999 rebranding to the TV Guide Channel, before moving it exclusively to the grid in 2004, where it remains after magazine switch to national list the following year).
Instead of purchasing TV Guide Channel introduction privileges, some services like Optimum and Bright House Networks create their own scroll list grid, with Optimum occasionally distracted by full screen ads, and instead showing banner ads accompanied by music. The Bright House version displays a local news station video show, not a banner ad, with the overall presentation on its screen, if it does not match the Optimum. Other cable providers who do not carry TV Guide Channels bring the same TV list channels provided by entertainment websites and Zap2It ads. DirecTV did not start bringing TV Guide Channels until 2004, and began carrying them in full-screen format completely (without the bottom list) in 2005. This also happened with Dish Network, which broadcasted the network in full-format screens to avoid duplication of IPG receiver-integrated set, also provided by Gemstar-TV Guide (another satellite provider, Primestar, has also brought channels with the network including, until join DirecTV in 1999 immediately after changing the image to TV Guides Channel).
TV Guide Network
On April 30, 2007, Gemstar-TV Guide announced that starting on June 4, 2007, TV Guide Channels will be renamed to " TV Guide Network ". According to a press release, the move was intended to reflect "the continuous evolution of Channels from primarily utility services to a network of more developed television guidance and entertainment with an ongoing commitment to high-quality programming."
On May 2, 2008, Gemstar-TV Guide was acquired by Macrovision (now TiVo Corporation) for $ 2.8 billion. Macrovision, which purchased the Gemstar-TV Guide largely to increase the value of VCR Plus and patent a profitable electronic program guide, later stated that it was considering the sale of TV Guide Network and the TV Guide print edition with other parties. On December 18 of that year, Macrovision announced that it had found a party willing to TV Guide Network in private equity firm One Equity Partners. Transactions include tvguide.com, with Macrovision maintaining IPG services.
In early January 2009, the print edition of TV Guide silently deleted the list for the TV Guide Network (and some other broadcast and cable networks) for what magazine's management described as a "space problem". In fact, the two entities were forced to be separated by their new owners, with promotions for networks ending in magazines, and vice versa.
On January 5, 2009, Lionsgate announced its intention to purchase TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online for $ 255 million in cash. Lionsgate closed the deal on March 2, 2009. In the following April, Lionsgate announced plans to turn the network into a more entertainment-oriented channel, including a plan to discontinue the list of screens on the list of scrolling down screens that had been part of the channel since its founding in late 1981 ; this is partly due to internet-based TV list websites, mobile apps and on-screen interactive program guides (IPG) built directly into most modern cable and satellite set-top terminals (such as its own IPG TV Guide software, Interactive TV Guides, which visually similar in its presentation to the channel's pre-2015 channel list) as well as into digital video recorders such as TiVo eliminating the need for special television channel channels by providing the same information in a faster way, and often in more detail and with the flexibility that greater than. Even so, grid-registered channels, long after many providers began to offer digital cable services, are usually limited to those within an expanded base level, with only certain channels on their digital services appearing on separate grids towards the end of the list cycle. After the announcement, Mediacom announced that it would drop the network; Time Warner Cable also dropped its network from its Texas system.
2010s
On July 1, 2010, the grid rolled TV Guide Network was given a broad facelift; the grid shrinks to the bottom quarter of the screen, the channel list is subtracted from two paths into one (with the channel number now placed to the right of the channel ID code), the color codes for genre-specific programs (such as children's shows, movies and sports) have been deleted, the synopsis for the movie is dropped and very similar to the features included in the resulting network Amiga 2000, a four-second pause for the grid scroll function is added after each line listed from the four channels. Despite the changes, the non-scrolling lattice (which is the same height as the rolling flick) continues to be used for primetime programming for a while. Later that month on July 24, TV Guide Network introduced a new non-scrolling network used for primetime programming, which was then dropped with providers using rolling grilles over a period of time. On August 3, 2010, the revolving grid changed again, with the stop function being applied to each channel, and the size of the list row returned to two lines (in some areas, grid with three fixed lines, so cut half of the second list). On October 17, 2010, the color of the scrolling grid was changed to a black row of lists that returned to one line (though some cabling systems were still using the previous network until the end of 2014).
As of May 2009, 35% of households run network programming without a grid; by the end of 2011, 75% of the systems that carry the channel show full-screen programming. By January 2013, that number increased to 83%, and it is expected that in the following year, 90% of households will see the network in full-screen mode, without a grid list. Some cable systems that ignore network usage in TV Guide Network begin to move channels from their basic services (where it is done at a minimum of "basic" programming level, together with local broadcast stations and public, education, and government access channels) to the digital level they. This also resulted in the removal of its use as the default Emergency Alert System channel for transmitting warning information applicable to the provider's local service area (some providers also previously used the TV Guide Network channel space for alternative feed or overflow from regional sports networks for sports rights conflicts, Special HD has been launched for RSN and new carriage agreements with channels that block the use of Overflow EAS or RSN, this use negated).
In 2011, TV Guide Network dramatically overhauled its program, leaving most of its original show (with the original special exception and red carpet coverage) and shifting its focus to program reruns especially from the 1990s and 2000s, along with the 1980 series -an and movies. In January 2012, after Lionsgate acquired the movie studio Summit Entertainment, it was announced that the channel would be sold. That year, CBS Corporation considered buying a network. In March 2013 CBS and Lionsgate entered into a 50/50 joint venture to operate the network, coinciding with the company's previous intention to purchase One Equity Partners share from other TV Guide interests. The deal, worth $ 100 million, closes on March 26, 2013.
TVGN
In January 2013, it was announced that TV Guide Network would be renamed TVGN . New name and logo changes, which do not emphasize channel links to TV Guide magazine come into effect on April 15, 2013. The immediate effect of purchases by CBS sees the summer series Big Brother After Dark moving from Showtime 2 to TVGN, along with the same day repetition of The Young and the Restless that moved to the network from Soapnet, which ceased operations in December 2013. The CBS soaps The Bold and the Beautiful soon also joined the TVGN lineup, along with the same repetition last week from Survivor and The Amazing Race, and the repetition of CBS events like the Grammy Awards. The syndicated news magazine CBS Television Distribution Entertainment Tonight began packing and producing all of TVGN's red carpet coverage as a cable extension of the program, even though the existing network programming agreement with the competing program/PopSugar site continues to be maintained.
A high-definition network simulcast feed (broadcast in 1080i format) was also launched that year; it was added to various providers through the extension of existing TVGN train contracts. High definition feeds only run channel entertainment programming, without overlay or hardware used to provide list information. The final agreement with the provider determines that the channel carries a list scroll that ends in June 2014. Some providers, such as the city-owned cable system in Frankfort, Kentucky, continue to carry rolls without any video programming on separate channels (such as local origination channels) for subscribers who subscribe to the provider's analog services.
Pop
On September 18, 2014, CBS and Lionsgate announced that TVGN would be relaunched as Pop in early 2015, with a rebranding that was later announced on January 14 of that year. with his focus turning to programming about pop culture fandom. The network will carry 400 hours of original programming after changing the image, including a reality show starring New Kids on the Block and Canadian co-production Schitt's Creek . Pop is available on AT & amp; T U-verse on March 1, 2016. On 19 November 2015 it was announced that Impact Wrestling, the flagship event of what became known as TNA Wrestling, would move from Destination America to Pop starting on January 5, 2016 It was in Pop that the show was renamed Impact , while the promotion was re-branded as Impact Wrestling .

Color scheme
Genre color coding
On the TV Guide Network until July 1, 2010 and currently in TV Guide integrated TV screens under the TVGGG Interactive service guide, the program genre is shown on the screen with colors:
- Common programming: Gray (shown as dark blue in EPG)
- Children's event: Light blue
- Sports programming: Green
- Movies: Purple on pay-per-view channels; red in broadcast stations, basic channels and premium (shown in purple in EPG, for all channels)
On TVGN itself, for weeks before the Emmy, the nominated event was also highlighted in gold. The same golden spotlight can be seen in the run-up to the Oscar Awards to mark the Oscar-winning films ago. Titles for other specialized programs use different types of graphic treatment in grid cells; for example, programs shown as part of the Shark Week Discovery Channel show have a flowery graphic of water; just before Halloween, the horror movie title featured spiderweb in their scheme, and the holiday movie title listed during December shaded in blue and snow-covered. The same and/or premiere important show has other special graphics schemes added to their grid cells.
Due to the restructuring of the TV Guide Network scrolling grid on July 1, 2010 that saw the grid shrink to the bottom third of the screen, gray began to be used as a color code for all programs with genre-based color codes derived specifically for the TV Guide's IPG Interactive service.
Grid color history
On TVGN channels, in various iterations, the following colors have been used for list list:
- Black (during the Amiga-based EPG and Prevue Guide years before mid-1993)
- Blue Gray navy (during the Amiga Prevue Guide, Prevue Channel, and TV Channel Year 1993-2000)
- Yellow (during the 2000-2003 TV Year)
- Blue (during the 2003-2004 TV Channel)
- Teal (during the 2004-2005 TV Channel)
- Gray (over TV Guide Network, TVGuide Network and TVGN 2005-2015)
Between the late 1980s and 1999, local cable operators were able to configure lists for certain channels to appear with alternate background colors (either red or light blue, depending on provider preferences). The light gray background is also used for summary lists based on channel and program genres, when enabled by local cable operators. Beginning with the introduction of the yellow network in 1999, all the staining was discarded for a genre-based staining program that affected all channels and summaries. Listings for movies featuring a red background, pay-per-view events have a purple background, and sporting events show a green background. Beginning in 2004, a light blue background was also applied to the list for children's programs.

In 1991, the Prevue Network launched Sneak Prevue, a spinoff separator that is exclusively used to promote programming on provider pay-per-view services; it displays a full-screen promo (plus graphics featuring scheduling and ordering information) and upcoming movie and showtimes that are served on any pay-per-view channel based on either airtime or genre. This channel is also driven by hardware Amiga 2000, and its software is very prone to accidents such as Prevue Guide software itself. TV Guide Network stopped Sneak Prevue operations in 2002.
