It rebranded as <b>i: Independent Television</b> (commonly referred to as "i") on July 1, 2005, converting into a general entertainment network featuring recent and older acquired programs. The network adopted its identity as Ion Television on January 29, 2007. </p><p>For many years, Ion has focused primarily on off-network reruns of existing series, with most of its current schedule devoted to <a href="/wiki/Marathon_(media)" title="Marathon (media)">marathon</a> <a href="/wiki/Block_programming" title="Block programming">blocks</a> of <a href="/wiki/Procedural_drama" title="Procedural drama">procedural dramas</a>, along with occasional broadcasts of films (including <a href="/wiki/Television_film" title="Television film">television films</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Christmas" title="Christmas">Christmas</a> season). In the past, Ion had acquired first-run airings of <a href="/wiki/Television_in_Canada" title="Television in Canada">Canadian</a> series not picked up by other U.S. networks, and had also been infamous for devoting much of its schedule to <a href="/wiki/Infomercial" title="Infomercial">infomercials</a>. Under Scripps ownership, Ion has increasingly added national sports programming from the newly-established <a href="/wiki/Scripps_Sports" title="Scripps Sports">Scripps Sports</a> division, beginning with packages of <a href="/wiki/WNBA" class="mw-redirect" title="WNBA">WNBA</a> basketball and <a href="/wiki/NWSL" class="mw-redirect" title="NWSL">NWSL</a> soccer. </p><p>Ion is available throughout most of the United States through its group of 44 <a href="/wiki/Owned-and-operated_station" title="Owned-and-operated station">owned-and-operated stations</a> and 20 <a href="/wiki/Network_affiliate" title="Network affiliate">network affiliates</a>, as well as through distribution on pay-TV providers and streaming services; since 2014, the network has also increased affiliate distribution in several markets through the <a href="/wiki/Digital_subchannel" title="Digital subchannel">digital subchannels</a> of local television stations owned by companies such as <a href="/wiki/Gray_Television" title="Gray Television">Gray Television</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group" title="Nexstar Media Group">Nexstar Media Group</a> where the network is unable to maintain a main channel affiliation with or own a standalone station, for the same purpose as the distribution of Ion's main network feed via pay-TV providers and streaming services. </p><p>The network's stations cover all of the top 20 U.S. markets and 37 of the top 50 markets.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ion's owned-and-operated stations cover 64.8% of the United States population, by far the most of any U.S. station ownership group; it is able to circumvent the legal limit of covering 39% of the population because all of its stations operate on the <a href="/wiki/UHF_television" class="mw-redirect" title="UHF television">UHF television</a> band, which is subject to a <a href="/wiki/Media_cross-ownership_in_the_United_States#UHF_discount" title="Media cross-ownership in the United States">discount</a> in regard to that limit.

Paxson, who felt that television programs aired by other broadcast networks were too raunchy and not family-friendly enough, had decided to create a network that he perceived as an alternative. Since the new network would focus on programming tailored to family audiences, PAX maintained a considerably more conservative programming content policy than the major commercial television networks, restricting <a href="/wiki/Profanity" title="Profanity">profanity</a>, violence and sexual content; accordingly, many of the network's acquired programs were edited to remove sexual and overt violent content, while profane language was <a href="/wiki/Ducking" title="Ducking">muted</a>. </p><p>Most of the network's initial affiliates were Paxson Communications-owned affiliate stations of the <b>Infomall TV Network</b> (inTV), a network launched by Paxson in 1995 that relied mainly on <a href="/wiki/Infomercial" title="Infomercial">infomercials</a> and other <a href="/wiki/Brokered_programming" title="Brokered programming">brokered programming</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the late spring and summer of 1998, a half-hour preview special hosted by former <i><a href="/wiki/The_Waltons" title="The Waltons">Waltons</a></i> star <a href="/wiki/Richard_Thomas_(actor)" title="Richard Thomas (actor)">Richard Thomas</a>, featuring interviews with Lowell Paxson about PAX's development and initial programming, aired on inTV stations slated to become charter outlets of the new network. </p><p>PAX launched on August 31, 1998,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with the network's initial schedule being much larger in scope than it would be in later years.

The remainder of the schedule was filled by paid programming. </p><p>Initial programming on PAX consisted of first-run shows (such as the true story profile series <i><a href="/wiki/It%27s_a_Miracle_(TV_series)" title="It's a Miracle (TV series)">It's a Miracle</a></i>, game show <i><a href="/wiki/The_Reel_to_Reel_Picture_Show" title="The Reel to Reel Picture Show">The Reel to Reel Picture Show</a></i>, and talk shows <i>Woman's Day</i> and <i>Great Day America</i>), along with reruns of older programming (including <i><a href="/wiki/Highway_to_Heaven" title="Highway to Heaven">Highway to Heaven</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Here%27s_Lucy" title="Here's Lucy">Here's Lucy</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Hogan_Family" title="The Hogan Family">The Hogan Family</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Dave%27s_World" title="Dave's World">Dave's World</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Touched_by_an_Angel" title="Touched by an Angel">Touched by an Angel</a></i>, and new episodes and older reruns of <i><a href="/wiki/Candid_Camera" title="Candid Camera">Candid Camera</a></i>, the latter of which moved to the network following the revival series' cancellation by <a href="/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> earlier in 1998). The network also produced some original drama series such as <i><a href="/wiki/Sue_Thomas:_F.B.Eye" title="Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye">Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Doc_(2001_TV_series)" title="Doc (2001 TV series)">Doc</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Mysterious_Ways_(TV_series)" title="Mysterious Ways (TV series)">Mysterious Ways</a></i> (which originated on <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a>), <i><a href="/wiki/Hope_Island_(TV_series)" title="Hope Island (TV series)">Hope Island</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Twice_in_a_Lifetime_(TV_series)" title="Twice in a Lifetime (TV series)">Twice in a Lifetime</a></i> through its programming division, Paxson Entertainment.

Starting in 2000, many PAX stations also entered into news share agreements with a local major network affiliate (mostly involving NBC-affiliated stations, though some involved an affiliate of <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a>, CBS, or <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a>) to air <a href="/wiki/Tape-delayed" class="mw-redirect" title="Tape-delayed">tape-delayed</a> broadcasts of evening, and in some markets, morning newscasts from the partner station; in a few cases, the agreement partner produced live newscasts for the PAX station (as examples of the latter, NBC affiliate <a href="/wiki/WTHR" title="WTHR">WTHR</a> in <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis</a> produced a prime time newscast for PAX O&O <a href="/wiki/WIPX-TV" title="WIPX-TV">WIPX-TV</a> from February to June 2005, after CBS affiliate <a href="/wiki/WISH-TV" title="WISH-TV">WISH-TV</a> (now a <a href="/wiki/The_CW" title="The CW">CW</a> affiliate) took over production of the newscast that WTHR had been producing for <a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/WNDY-TV" title="WNDY-TV">WNDY-TV</a> (now a <a href="/wiki/MyNetworkTV" title="MyNetworkTV">MyNetworkTV</a> affiliate) since 1996; <a href="/wiki/Cleveland" title="Cleveland">Cleveland</a> NBC affiliate <a href="/wiki/WKYC-TV" class="mw-redirect" title="WKYC-TV">WKYC-TV</a> produced evening newscasts for <a href="/wiki/WVPX-TV" title="WVPX-TV">WVPX-TV</a> that focused primarily on that O&O's city of license, nearby <a href="/wiki/Akron" class="mw-redirect" title="Akron">Akron</a>). In some cities, a major network affiliate also provided some engineering and other back office services for the PAX station. </p><p>In an effort to increase revenue due to low viewership and other financial issues, PAX gradually increased the amount of paid programming content on its schedule throughout the early 2000s, at the expense of its general entertainment programming. Infomercials and other types of brokered programs ultimately became the dominant form of programming during the network's broadcast day; by January 2005, the time that PAX had allocated to entertainment programs had been reduced to six hours on weekdays (from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 pm) and five hours on weekends (from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 pm. Central Time). Original programming was also affected by the network's programming changes; PAX was originally offering five or six new series each season.

The network used a lowercase letter "i" for its branding and other items such as its <a href="/wiki/Electronic_program_guide" title="Electronic program guide">electronic program guide</a> listings. </p><p>The rebranding also resulted in several changes to its programming lineup: paid programming replaced overnight programming from The Worship Network, which began to carry its full 24-hour schedule on a fourth digital subchannel of local <i>i</i> owned-and-operated stations and affiliates until the network was dropped in January 2010; in addition, <i>Tomorrow's Weather Tonight</i> and rebroadcasts of network affiliate newscasts were discontinued the day prior to the rebrand on June 30, 2005 (though a few stations not owned by the network's parent company retained news share agreements with major network stations after that date, such as <a href="/wiki/WBNA" title="WBNA">WBNA</a> in <a href="/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky" title="Louisville, Kentucky">Louisville, Kentucky</a>, which continued to air newscasts from NBC affiliate <a href="/wiki/WAVE_(TV)" title="WAVE (TV)">WAVE</a>). The network shifted its format almost entirely to reruns of television series from the 1960s to the 1990s (such as <i><a href="/wiki/Green_Acres" title="Green Acres">Green Acres</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Amen_(TV_series)" title="Amen (TV series)">Amen</a></i>, and Pax holdover <i><a href="/wiki/Diagnosis:_Murder" title="Diagnosis: Murder">Diagnosis: Murder</a></i>) and feature films, reruns of former Pax TV series (such as <i>Doc</i>) and first-run episodes (and later reruns) of Pax holdover series <i><a href="/wiki/America%27s_Most_Talented_Kid" title="America's Most Talented Kid">America's Most Talented Kids</a></i> were also included as part of the schedule. In turn, the network adapted its programming content standards to those similar to other broadcast networks.

A small number of Ion stations have channel sharing agreements with other broadcasters after the FCC's 2016 spectrum re-allocation auction, while others such as Atlanta-area station <a href="/wiki/WPXA-TV" title="WPXA-TV">WPXA-TV</a> contract with other lower-power stations in a market to provide a full-power signal, such as <a href="/wiki/Telemundo" title="Telemundo">Telemundo</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/WKTB-CD" title="WKTB-CD">WKTB-CD</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Subchannels">Subchannels</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ion_Television&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Subchannels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Qubo">Qubo</h5><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ion_Television&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Qubo"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Qubo" title="Qubo">Qubo</a></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Qubo" title="Qubo">Qubo</a> was a children's television network that launched on January 8, 2007, and is carried on the second digital subchannel of Ion Television's stations.

Ion Television, unlike other broadcast networks, does not necessarily allow its owned-and-operated stations and affiliates to air syndicated programming during the daytime and late night hours. </p><p>In the United States, syndicated programming accounts for a majority of the revenue of local network-affiliated and independent stations. Network programming (on stations that have a network affiliation), newscasts or other locally produced programs (if a station carries any), and infomercials make up the rest. Since paid programming once made up a relatively sizable portion of Ion's schedule (prior to 2008), the benefit is that it provides the main source of revenue. However, this is also a drawback as, in the past, Ion had relied more on infomercials rather than sitcoms and dramas; sponsors of television series often have qualms about their message being lost on stations whose primary content is infomercials and other paid programming. Ion Television's reliance on mostly paid programming has decreased since the late 2000s, as a result of the network's expansion of entertainment programming to additional daytime and late night timeslots, and in particular, the later creation of the infomercial-dedicated subchannel service Ion Shop. Ion Television stations also lack locally produced programming; most of its stations had aired newscasts from other local network-affiliated stations until the rebrand as <i>i</i>, and have even produced their own <a href="/wiki/Public_affairs_(broadcasting)" title="Public affairs (broadcasting)">community affairs</a> shows; however, local programming has since become virtually non-existent on most of Ion's O&Os and affiliates, and was entirely discontinued with the 2019 repeal of the Main Studio rule by the FCC. </p><p>In effect, the repeal also freed Ion Media from the responsibility of maintaining 'studios' in any manner, which for most stations were merely a low-cost office suite containing the station's <a href="/wiki/Public_file" title="Public file">public file</a>, a telephone operated by a general manager with only the responsibility of responding to viewers and local pay-TV providers as a local representative of the network, along with a broadcast engineer who often is responsible for multiple Ion stations (the rule required two employees, an engineer and general manager, at minimum to staff a television station). Currently in a market with another Scripps station, that station's engineer also performs the same duties for the Ion station. </p><p>In the past, as a result before digital multicasting, there were a small number of stations (such as former affiliate <a href="/wiki/WKFK-LD" class="mw-redirect" title="WKFK-LD">WKFK-LD</a> in <a href="/wiki/Pascagoula,_Mississippi" title="Pascagoula, Mississippi">Pascagoula, Mississippi</a>) that maintained dual affiliations with both Ion and another smaller network, such as <a href="/wiki/America_One" title="America One">America One</a>. In early 2006, it was announced that the <i>i</i> stations in <a href="/wiki/Memphis,_Tennessee" title="Memphis, Tennessee">Memphis, Tennessee</a> (<a href="/wiki/WPXX-TV" title="WPXX-TV">WPXX-TV</a>), <a href="/wiki/Rapid_City,_South_Dakota" title="Rapid City, South Dakota">Rapid City, South Dakota</a> (<a href="/wiki/KKRA-LP" class="mw-redirect" title="KKRA-LP">KKRA-LP</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Greenville,_North_Carolina" title="Greenville, North Carolina">Greenville, North Carolina</a> (<a href="/wiki/WEPX-TV" title="WEPX-TV">WEPX-TV</a>, as well as its satellite <a href="/wiki/WPXU-TV" class="mw-redirect" title="WPXU-TV">WPXU-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Jacksonville,_North_Carolina" title="Jacksonville, North Carolina">Jacksonville, North Carolina</a>) would add programming from MyNetworkTV in September 2006, causing preemptions of <i>i</i> programming during prime time due to the stations' programming commitments to carrying the MyNetworkTV schedule. This blow came after <i>i</i> lost some affiliates in <a href="/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico">New Mexico</a>, New York and <a href="/wiki/Illinois" title="Illinois">Illinois</a> entirely (although the New York station, <a href="/wiki/WWBI-LP" title="WWBI-LP">WWBI-LP</a> in <a href="/wiki/Plattsburgh" class="mw-redirect" title="Plattsburgh">Plattsburgh</a>, subsequently rejoined the network after a sale that resulted in the affiliation change fell through). </p><p>In late September 2009, a year after Ion Media Networks purchased WPXX and WEPX/WPXU from Flinn Broadcasting, those stations resumed carrying Ion Television full-time, having disaffiliated from MyNetworkTV as a result of the network terminating its existing affiliation agreements due to its conversion into a programming service. NBC affiliate <a href="/wiki/WITN-TV" title="WITN-TV">WITN-TV</a> took over the MyNetworkTV affiliation for the Greenville, North Carolina market, placing it on a <a href="/wiki/Digital_subchannel"
