TheFugitive

The Mizlou Television Network was never really a network.
They were a syndicator which produced a package of football games which
were sold to local stations in the 1970's.

This included various college bowl games (aside from the major ones like the
Orange or Sugar Bowls) and the defunct World Football League during it's
1 1/2 seasons of existence.

They may have also produced some college basketball games.
Typically these were sold to local independent stations (WPGH here in Pittsburgh)

They did not maintain any sort of a regular weekly program schedule
(other than the WFL games ran weekly, I think on Wednesday nights).
Just offered the games when they were available.

I wouldn't consider Cornerstone Television and ON-TV4U shopping channels. They are 2 all-infomercial channels. On COX Cable here in Connecticut ON-TV4U is Channel 74 with a BOX (13.2 without a box) and is listed on the Channel Line-Up as Leased Access. The all Coin Shopping Channel - The Coin Vault is on Channel 74 Monday, Tuesdays, and Thursday Nights, along with Sunday Mornings. (Though the Coin Vault's website says it's on COX 24/7). The Coin Vault got its start on The now-defunct Shop-at-Home Network. After SAH went out of business the second time they became their own 24 hour network. Robert Chambers who hosted Coin Vault on Shop-at-Home was often on The Coin Vault Network but he has since left. I've seen him on an "infomercial" called CSN which stands for Coin Shopping Network. And just the other day I think he was selling coins on HSN.

Livewell should go under the "defunct" section because they're shutting down in January 2015.

Yes, Live Well should go under defunct, but I'm waiting until January. Infomercial channels are considered shopping channels because they sell products much like shopping channels. I added ZUUS Latino under the Spanish channels.

Updates:

PBJ and TheCoolTV are now defunct.

I had high hopes for PBJ. I'm guessing they had to deal with competition from other kids' channels found over-the-air and on cable in their respective markets.
