The network was established in November 1987 as Mind Extension University. Through a partnership with more than 30 colleges and universities, accredited college courses were broadcast.[1] Students would submit papers and assignments either by mail or fax. By January 1997, the network was renamed Knowledge TV,[2] and by that time it was carrying several programs dealing with new media and Silicon Valley businesses, including New Media News from KRON-TV in San Francisco, and many computer education programs such as Stewart Cheifet's Computer Chronicles. The network reached about 25 million subscribers, although many cable systems only carried the network part-time, using it to fill downtime on public access networks and late night paid programming blocks on networks such as Discovery Channel. In 1999, Discovery Communications bought out the network[3] and it was closed in 2000, as Discovery planned to give cable operators the option of converting the channel to Discovery Health.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web|title = Jones Timeline {{!}} Jones International|url = http://www.jones.com/views/timeline|website = www.jones.com|accessdate = 2015-11-17}} {{US-tv-station-stub}}2. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20150924162237/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67650414.html "Education Network Jumps Pond"], Rebecca Cantwell, Rocky Mountain News, 31 January 1997, "Knowledge TV, formerly called Mind Extension University, is available to about...". 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-55067835/discovery-bulks-up-knowledge.html |accessdate=September 22, 2012 }}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} 4. ^{{Cite web|title = Discovery People Fades Out|url = http://www.multichannel.com/news/orphan-articles/discovery-people-fades-out/148472|website = Multichannel|accessdate = 2015-11-17|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20151117223439/http://www.multichannel.com/news/orphan-articles/discovery-people-fades-out/148472|archivedate = 2015-11-17}} 3 : Television channels and stations established in 1987|Television channels and stations disestablished in 2000|Defunct American television networks |
