ATN

American Television Network is an American TV Channel created in 1978.





History
ATN was created in 1978. Back then, it had 18 stations (Los Angeles, San Fransisco-San Jose-Oakland, San Diego, Pheonix, Santa Fe-Albuquerque, Dallas, Houston, Austin, New Orleans, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa-St Petersburg, Miami, Charlotte, Washington DC, New York and Chicago) and a nation-wide feed for the other cities.

They increased its popularity during the 80s, being the most watched channel of the United States on certain times. In 1988, ATN created ATN Media, with its first product being ATN News.



American Television Network expanded in the world of sports in 1984 with the airing of Los Angeles 1984. ATN decided to invest more on sportive content and got the rights to broadcast the games of some sports teams.

The US channel also started to invest on juvenile programming. In 1993, they bought 25% of Hey Television. One year later, they started focusing a bit more on live actions and even launched a channel about it called Young TV.

Also in 1994, American Television Network got the rights to air the World Cup.



ATN lost the rights for the Olympic Games in 2000 because NBC decided to stop redistributing the games rights for other channels, but got them back in 2008. ATN launched "ATN International" in 2003, being avaible in Canada, Mexico and Europe. In 2010, ATN expanded its channel "Nihonzone" to Canada, Latin America and parts of Europe in 2009, 5 years after the channel's launch.

In 2019, ATN launched its streaming service named "ATN Go".
