Speedway TV

Speedway TV is an American free-to-air television network owned by JuneCorp. Media a Trujillo Inc., company. It was first launched on broadcast television on January 21, 1989 as a joint venture between the Righi Broadcasting Company and the Tribune Company, with the former acting as controlling partner. The network principally airs programs targeting older adults and young adults between the ages of 18 and 36 with the exception of its former weekday daytime and Saturday morning program block, SSN Kids!, which is geared toward children ages 8 to 14.
Speedway TV also garnered controversy over LGBT; such as the pilot episode of its anthalogy series The Hidden Room (which aired on 2004), where the main character developed feelings. 
== History ==
===Origins (prior to 1989)===
Speedway TV foundations were laid in November 1987 when Righi Broadcasting Company and the Tribune Company announced plans for a new network. These plans included its target audience from the 18-34 age demographic, in hopes of competing with new networks. The network can also trace its beginnings to when Paramount formed the Paramount Stations Group when it purchased the assets of the TVX Broadcast Group. 
Speedway TV appointed many former Fox executives to run the network, including the network's original chief executive Jamie Kellner, who served as president of Fox from 1986 to 1993; and president of programming Garth Ancier, who was the programming chief of Fox from 1986 to 1989.
