Lifetime

Lifetime is an American cable network, created in early 1984 through the merger of two other cable networks: Daytime and Cable Health Network. The channel is dedicated to movies, sitcoms and dramas, all of which are either geared toward women or feature women in lead roles. The network is owned by A &amp; E Television Networks.

About 1985, Lifetime started branding itself as "Talk Television" with a nightly lineup of talkshows and call-in programs hosted by people like Regis Philbin and Dr. Ruth Westheimer. In the process, they dropped the apple from their logo.
