The Renaissance Network

Not to be confused with either the 1962-70 NET network that was a precursor to PBS or the current television network with a similar focus named Real America's Voice.
== National Empowerment Television ==
=== 1993-1995 ===
The Renaissance Network began as National Empowerment Television in late 1993 and was founded by Free Congress Foundation founder and conservative activist Paul Weyrich. Its original logo was a nine-dot logo.
== NET ==
=== 1995-1997 ===
By April 1995; the channel's name was revised to simply NET (which no longer stood for anything) and the nine-dot logo was replaced by the channel name in red next to a blue-colored outline of the U.S. Capitol dome.
== America's Voice ==
=== 1997-2000 ===

By 1997; a combination of financial struggles (particularly following the recent launch of Fox News Channel) and Paul Weyrich's declining health led to Weyrich selling the channel to Robert Sutton, who rebranded the network America's Voice. However, Sutton eventually led a hostile takeover that ousted Weyrich while attempting to move the channel in a more centrist direction, which backfired as the traditionally conservative audience was alienated while the channel continued losing money (ultimately resulting in Dish Network dropping America's Voice)

Finally, by 2000 the channel was sold once more and rebranded as "The Renaissance Network"; and despite bringing back some NET-era shows, the channel quietly folded in late 2000.
