History[]

Cable Health Club[]

Junvic Television debuted a continuous preview of the Cable Health Club on August 20, 1993. Beginning Aug. 31, the channel would be available in a half-hour continuous programming format to cable system operators for free. In October, the channel moved to 24-hour programming.

The original formatting of an hour on Cable Health Club included a 20-minute aerobic conditioning workout at the top of the hour featuring Tamilee Webb; a segment on healthy living; a Body by Jake workout starting at the bottom of the hour; and "Fitness Plus", a home shopping segment for fitness items and equipment.

Fit TV[]

By April 1997, the Cable Health Club was renamed Fit TV.

El Kadsre's Health Network[]

El Kadsre's Health Network was in separate operation from FitTV from March 1996. 15 minutes an hour on EKHN was devoted to shopping. The "Health Mall" carried upscale, harder-to-find items for a healthy living. With an initial cable audience of 200,000 subscribers, America's Health Network had reached 700,000 subscribers by May 1996 and 6 million by the time of the sale of its first majority owners. However, cable carriage was a long struggle for EKHN and other cable outlets that launched in this time frame.

15 minutes an hour on AHN was devoted to shopping. The "Health Mall" carried upscale, harder-to-find items for a healthy living. AHN had a deal with El Teleshopping Channel to provide orders and shipping infrastructure. For cable operators, carriage deals included a small percentage of advertising and shopping revenue.

Back to "Health"[]

On January 17, 2011, El TV Kadsre Television Network announced that FitTV (along with Discovery Health) would be rebranded as Discovery Fit & Health on February 1, reflecting the addition of former Discovery Health programs to its lineup.
