Odyssey Network

Odyssey Network was a cable channel in the United States. Originally the network was a religious channel formed by Liberty Media as a conglomeration of several different religious channels (originally under the name of the Faith & Values Network), but in 1998, the Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment each purchased controlling interests in the network and changed the format from religious to family entertainment, although it retained some religious programming. Relaunched on April 4, 1999, much of the early content came from the respective Henson and Hallmark libraries.
Henson produced a continuation of the series Donna's Day for the network. Odyssey also produced spots that aired during commercial breaks, featuring interviews and behind-the-scenes footage of classic Henson productions such as The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and Time Piece. Odyssey also aired Henson specials in primetime under the banner Jim Henson Presents, not to be confused with the 1985 series of the same name.
Additionally, The Jim Henson Company produced a series of Odyssey promos featuring the Muppets, which were later released as DVD bonus features and have been known as Muppetisms and Movie Mania. Each episode of The Muppet Show on this channel also featured a newly-produced introduction by Brian Henson.
In the summer of 2000, Henson's then-parent company EM.TV exchanged their interests in Odyssey and The Kermit Channel for an 8.2% stake in Crown Media Holdings. In August 2001, Crown Media relaunched Odyssey as the Hallmark Channel and much of the Henson programming was discontinued.
