Light TV


Light TV is an American digital broadcast television network owned by MGM Television that launched on December 22, 2016. The network features family-friendly and faith-based entertainment programming.
Light TV is headed by MGM TV CEO Mark Burnett and his wife, actress Roma Downey. The pair have teamed in the past to produce several religious and family-oriented projects through the MGM subsidiary Downey leads, Lightworkers Media.

History

The then-new over-the-top faith-based channel was under development as early as September 2014 when MGM purchased 55% of One Three Media and LightWorkers Media, owned by Hearst Entertainment, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, and consolidated them into United Artists Media Group. With MGM purchasing Hearst and Burnett and Downey's shares in UAMG, the channel was still a planned streaming service. However, Hearst and Burnett and Downey retained their stakes in the channel.
MGM announced the formation of Light TV on November 16, 2016, with a launch planned for December on thirteen major market stations owned by Fox Television Stations. The network launched on December 22, 2016 with two stations, and the rest of the group's stations launching the subchannel throughout early 2017.

Programming

Light TV features several series and movies meant to fit the network's family-oriented approach, including content from the MGM film and TV library or acquired through outside sources. Infomercials were added to the Light TV lineup in 2019, occupying all of the overnight hours and into the early morning.
