Gibson Television Network

Not to be confused with Gotswana Television (GTV) or any of its properties.
The Gibson Television Network (colloquially known by the name GTV, or gtv) is an American free-to-air television network whose headquarters are located in Broadway, New York City, and in Los Angeles. The channel was formerly named Sun Television Network until January 2004.
It is one of the only channels in the United States to operate in a 4:3 aspect ratio
==History (as Sun Television Network)==
The Sun Television Network was launched on February 18, 1988, at 5:30pm EST. Its first national telecast was an NHL game between the Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues, with the Blues winning 7-4. Sun had a score bug in the top right throughout the game, so that if people tuned in after the game started, they could know what the score is. Sun was one of the first channels to use a constant score bug for sports games.
On February 22nd, the first telecast of Sun News Tonight went on the air at 6:00p EST, with Kai Peters hosting the show. This was one of 3 shows on Sun to last 15 years, as it last aired on January 2, 2004. The other two were Grim Reaper, a horror show lasting from 1988-2003, and Rickey, a comedy show lasting from 1988-2003.
On Thursday, March 17th, at 4:35 in the afternoon, the channel suddenly stopped operations due to a mechanical issue. It did not come back on air until 7:06 the next morning, March 18. An investigation could not find the mechanical issue, and gave Sun the green light to air.
==2003-2008: Gibson's purchase, rename, and falling==
On June 3, 2003, the Gibson family (head of the Gibson Broadcasting Corporation) bought Sun for $90.58 million dollars, and 6 days later, announced that the channel would be renamed GTV in January of the next year. Starting in October, promos were made announcing the rename. On January 7, 2004, at 1:00p EST, Sun made its last telecast, a rerun of the last episode of Rickey. At 2:00p that same day, the channel rebooted, now under the name GTV.
