I think TheHub that eventually became DiscoveryFamily was a short-lived niche network that ran for 5 years.  Also, make another folder named "Unstorted" if one is unsure on which.

To sort out my examples from local television in my country:

[[AC: Short-Lived Broadcast Networks]]
* Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation was a Philippine broadcasting channel from 1972 to 1986 when ABS-CBN was shut down under the Marcos administration.  The former was in turn shut down when the latter was relaunched in 1986.

[[AC: Rebranded Major Broadcast Networks]]
* QTV was an offshoot channel of GMA Network, whose viewership was aimed towards women.  As NetworkDecay stepped in, it was shut down in 2011, and was replaced by GMA News TV

[[AC: Short-Lived Mainstream Cable/Satellite Networks]]
* Studio 23 was a channel owned by ABS-CBN, where much of the programs were young adult oriented.  It ceased operations in 2014 due to declining viewership, and it was replaced by a sports-oriented channel also run by ABS-CBN.

[[AC: Rebranded Mainstream Cable/Satellite Networks]]
* Solar Entertainment has its share of rebranding their channels catered by genre and demographic.   First, Solar USA, which programmed crime dramas, suspense, and action, was split in 2005 into the comedy-oriented Jack TV, and the action-oriented C/S, which is now CT in 2015

[[AC: Rebranded Niche Cable/Satellite Networks]]
* The Philippine edition of Creator/MTV had its share of rebrandings due to competition with local music video channel Myx.  Originally it was named MTV Philippines from 1992 to 2010, then MTV Pinoy in 2014-2016, then [=MTVph=] since 2016.

EDIT 2017-10-21: Fixed my examples to AC format
