Why is the S | NETWORKS name pluralized?
Our flagship S | NETWORKS delivers quality programming in a revolutionary and exciting new way. On
S | NETWORKS, various genres of programming are shown on our single, linear digital network within sub-channel modules called Micro-channels™. Each Micro-Channel™ is named to signify the individual genre of the multiple niches that we cater to. These Micro-channels™ appear collectively as programming within our linear flagship digital television network or individually through alternative distribution methods. Therein
S | NETWORKS is actually comprised of several networks hence the plurality of our name.

Why can’t I see S | NETWORKS on my cable/satellite TV?
If you have cable or DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) television service but cannot find S | NETWORKS listed in your line-up of available channels, then most likely your service provider has not launched
S | NETWORKS.

Your voice is important! To get the new S | NETWORKS channel, contact your cable company and make them aware that you would like to have S | NETWORKS added to your programming line-up or simply click here and we’ll let them know for you.

With all of the channels available my cable company offers hardly any ethnic programming or new channels, why?
In the 1990s, cable and satellite companies desperately needed new networks to fill slots for new digital programming package offerings, which translated into growth for their businesses, such is not case these. As cable and satellite companies have shifted their focus, today new channels that enter the market place find themselves competing for channel positions against the likes of the giant media companies who own multiple cable networks that benefit from longstanding relationships with cable operators. This common occurrence suppresses the opportunity for most start-up and independent ethnic channel offerings. Nevertheless, S | NETWORKS is on the air, readily available to cable companies throughout all of North America and the Caribbean.

If your cable or satellite provider has not launched S | NETWORKS we invite you to disabuse them of their aversion. Contact your cable company and make them aware that you would like to have S | NETWORKS added to your programming line-up or simply click here and we’ll let them know for you. Ultimately, you are the customer and your opinion counts.
