KXLI was the original "TV Heaven," specializing in classic TV programs, theme nights, and marathons. It sounds ideal, but KXLI also faced frequent financial challenges. I believe this is from its modified TV Heaven era, when it had a significant number of classic shows, combined with a heavy college sports schedule.

I know USA is still in the original programming business, but I was surprised to see how much like a regular broadcast network they were at this point. Besides the sports that always marked USA, they have Alive & Well, Sonya, cartoons, and some older movies. In other words, they were more than just an outlet for endless reruns of NCIS.
