H Channel

H Channel is a broadcast network owned by Lake Hill Broadcasting. It is headquartered in Chicago, with master control located inside the Lake Hill headquarters. Additional studios are located in Indianapolis, Las Vegas, and New York.
== History ==
H channel was announced by Lake Hill's parent company Lake Hill Investments during their annual investors conference, which was held virtually. During the Broadcasting part of the conference, Lake Hill envisioned a new network for a new decade, saying that the current offerings "Don't just have the energy they once had." 
=== Revamping H Channel ===
Lake Hill announced on July 14th, 2021 that the channel would undergo a severe revamp of its programming. It dropped its only primetime program, sports programs, and some original shows. The reasoning was due to the channel not receiving enough viewers that would satisfy the high budget set aside to produce many of its programs. H Channel would go the way of a digital subchannel network, while still being a television network. It would air a mix of syndicated content, such as nationally cleared talk shows, game shows, dramas, and newscasts produced by Lake Hill's Newsfix. 
Despite the reduction of original programming, H Channel obtained the US rights to air international programs, such as CTV's Saving Hope, (from Canada) as well as two popular British dramas, such as The BBC's EastEnders, and ITV's Coronation Street. It also made a deal with NBCUniversal to make an English version of the Telemundo program "Titulares y Más."

== Former Programming ==
H Channel's daytime lineup consisted of a mixture of lifestyle shows, game shows, and a sitcom. The lifestyle shows were national versions of Lake Hill's various local lifestyle programs, with local segments replaced by national segments. The game shows were syndicated via a partnership with the Game Show Network. And the sitcom was an original show.
H Channel's weekday primetime lineup previously was only one hour, and consisted of a late night style program called "The Live Hour." Produced in Las Vegas, it was the only late night program to be produced live, whereas the others are pre taped earlier in the day for viewing later at night. On the weekends, an hour long sports show called "H Sports Tonight" aired. It was a highlights show with interviews, opinions, and betting outlooks. The reason for the hour long primetime is because Lake Hill intended to let stations use the second hour of primetime for an hour long newscast. Additionally, the stations were able to use the last hour of primetime for newscasts or entertainment programs.
Overnight, H Channel aired a variety of movies starting at 11pm eastern/10pm central. Additionally, repeats of "The Live Hour" or "H Sports Tonight" were aired. While on the weekends, H Channel aired sports programming, which were produced by its sports division or syndicated by the channel's partners.
