In September 2008, ValCom announced that they would purchase the assets of
Faith TV, relaunching it as a more broadly-distributed family television network. On December 15, 2008, ValCom deal to purchase Faith TV closed and they relaunched Faith TV as My Family TV. On October 1, 2009, ValCom completed the purchase of the network after making its final $250,000 payment. On March 22, 2011, ValCom announced that My Family TV would become a joint venture with Luken Communications. "The Family Channel" name was formerly used by the cable channel owned by
Christian Broadcasting Network that became
Freeform (now owned by Disney 15 years later) in January 2016; outside of some shared
public domain programming once aired in the CBN/Family Channel era of Freeform, the two networks have no relation to each other. == Affiliates ==
