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]
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.
