'''Pax TV''' (often referred to as simply '''PAX''') was founded in 1998 by Bud '''Pax'''son, and began broadcasting on August 31 that year. The network focused primarily on family-oriented entertainment programming, described by Paxson as an alternative to most other broadcasters at the time. Between September 1999 and November 2003, NBC owned a 32% stake in Pax's parent company Paxson Communications. Due to low viewership performances and an increasing lack of original programming however, Paxson decided to rebrand Pax TV as [[I: Independent Television|i: Independent Television]] on July 1, 2005. |
