- TV Guide Network (formerly known as The TV Guide Channel, Prevue Channel and Prevue Guide) is a American cable network owned by Lionsgate. It provides, on the bottom half of the screen, a scrolling grid that lists television channels and the television programs and films currently showing on them. On the top half of the screen are featured programs usually featuring movie previews, celebrity news, and commercials. The majority of the network's audience comes from channel surfers looking to see what's on and upcoming on their cable and satellite system's channel lineup. Although the listing scroll continues to be the major feature of the channel, TV Guide Network has repositioned itself as a destination channel for television news and information through their original series and specials, mainly because of on-screen electronic program guides provided by satellite services and cable boxes, digital video recorders like TiVo which often obviate the need as programming is typically recorded automatically and in advance, and listings on the Internet, which offer the information in a speedier manner and with more detail than TVGN's grid listings. TV Guide offers its own EPG software on digital cable boxes, called TV Guide Interactive, which is similarly structured like TV Guide Network listings-wise. A gridless version of the channel, featuring the channel in full-screen, is also provided to those providers who place the channel on a digital tier, where by the nature of having an on-screen program guide with the digital cable box, the channel's function would be duplicated, and the need for a guide channel for analog-only viewers is negated. On January 5, 2009, Lionsgate announced that they would be buying TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online for $255 million. Lionsgate paid cash and the transaction closed on March 2 2009. In April 2009, it was announced that Lionsgate announced plans on revamping the channel into a more entertainment-oriented channel, which will also include discontinuing the scrolling schedule that had been part of the channel since its 1985 inception. Following this announcement, Mediacom announced that it would be dropping the channel; also, Time Warner Cable had also dropped the channel as well, only in Texas.
