The network then moved to the stations of Ion Media and Inyo Broadcast Holdings (which acquired stations Scripps could not) as a subchannel, doing so by Mareplacing the Ion Plus, Shop Ion and Qubo channels. įollowing Scripps' acquisition of Ion Media on January 7, 2021, a previous agreement for the network to air on the subchannels of Univision Communications- owned-and-operated stations, was nullified. Previously handling the network's direct response advertising, Marathon Ventures would continue after the change over with advertising and sponsorship sales. At that time, Grit along with its sister network, Escape, were signing up for national ratings from Nielsen. Katz estimated, based on direct response advertising business by September 2015, the network had over 250,000 prime time viewer and available in 91 million homes and 81% of the country. Grit launched at Noon Eastern Time on that date, with the 1952 film High Noon as the network's inaugural broadcast, leading off a week-long festival of John Wayne films. On August 11, 2014, Katz announced that the two networks would launch simultaneously on August 18. Grit was announced by Katz Broadcasting along with a sister network Escape on April 3, 2014, with a formal launch scheduled for that summer with initial affiliates announced at this time being Univision Communications owned stations. 3 It is available on Dish Network, DirecTV Stream and AT&T U-verse. 1 Grit used direct response advertising as a meter of viewers before switching to Nielsen rating C-3. Originally, Katz sold the network to affiliated TV stations via ad split, but by October 2015 had moved to paying carriage fees in exchange for distributing the network's ad inventory. The network is available in many media markets via the digital subchannels of free-to-air television stations and on the digital tiers of select cable providers through a local affiliate of the network.
