It just doesn't get better than THIS!
One of the multitudes of "digi-nets" found on broadcast television note  This TV, owned by Allen Media Group (since 2020; before that it was a joint venture between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Tribune Media), specializes mainly in movies from the MGM library (specifically, the stuff that wasn't acquired by Turner Broadcasting and then absorbed into Warner Bros..) Primarily, This TV airs all MGM films released after 1986, most of the United Artists library, and many other companies (such as Orion Pictures) that MGM has bought over the years, as well as television series late at night and early in the morning.

Weigel Broadcasting was MGM's partner in This from its launch until November 2013. Under Weigel's supervision, This TV aired children's programming from the Cookie Jar Entertainment/DiC library, as well as Weigel's in-house E/I production Green Screen Adventures. They eventually transferred their share to Tribune, because Weigel had the far more successful MeTV to deal with, and they partnered with FOX to launch the Movies! digi-net.

From 2017-2018, This TV carried the Sinclair Broadcast Group's three-hour morning block of non-educational children's programming, KidsClick, which was also seen on other Sinclair-owned stations until its demise in 2019. KidsClick was supplemented by This TV's own block of acquired E/I programming.

Due to the huge success of other diginets, This had to cut back its signature programming. Now, the mornings are entirely either paid programming or syndicated educational shows with early afternoons dedicated to syndicated courtroom shows, leaving just the early evening and primetime hours for movies.
