In late 1996, the network was renamed Knowledge TV, and by that time it was carrying several programs dealing with new media and Silicon Valley businesses, including New Media News from KRON-TV in San Francisco, and many computer education programs such as Stewart Cheifet's Computer Chronicles. The network reached about 25 million subscribers, although many cable systems only carried the network part-time, using it to fill downtime on public access networks and late night paid programming blocks on networks such as Discovery Channel. In 1999, Discovery Communications bought out the network and it was closed in 2000, as Discovery planned to give cable operators the option of converting the channel to Discovery Health. (en)
