Good family entertainment is hard to find. Either the content is too mature for young audiences or too childish for adults to appreciate. With UPtv however, this is not an issue. This American cable TV network ties the whole family together, bringing them closer. And, is particularly sought-after during the Holiday season.
Founded in 2004 by Charles Humbard UPtv was initially called the Gospel Music Channel (GMC). It featured different genres of gospel/Christian music, from southern to contemporary gospel and from Christian rock and metal. They also developed original shows which included a singing competition ‘America Sings’ and aired concerts in ‘Front Row Live’. GMC also found great success with Faith and Fame which delved into the artists’ biographies. In fact, the network even hosted the Christian music industry award shows acknowledging the work of these artists.
Their programming started to change around 2010 before the network was rebranded as UPtv in 2013. But, you can rest assured, it is just as family-friendly now as it was then.
UPtv now carries popular syndicated series like Home Improvement, Whose Line is it Anyway?, and the much loved Gilmore Girls. The channel also makes it a point to celebrate holidays with full fervor. From Christmas Eve to Christmas Day you can expect soulful music from contemporary Christian artists to get you in the spirit. And, family-friendly movies that are aired for multiple weeks during December. Easter programming is just as interesting and when Halloween comes, you’ll be scared and ecstatic at the same time as you approach the day. With so much to offer, there’s no way Spectrum would pass UPtv up in its channel lineup.
