[1] In recent years, Discovery Life has lost carriage with the growth of streaming alternatives including its parent company's Max, and has generally been depreciated by Warner Bros.

FitTV offered programming with such fitness celebrities as Cathe Friedrich, Sharon Mann, Gilad Janklowicz, Marilu Henner, Tamilee Webb and others.

Beginning August 31 of that year, the channel would be available in a half-hour continuous programming format to cable system operators for free.

In 1994, Cable Health Club received new sponsors and minority partners, Reebok International (its first charter advertiser) and Liberty Media.

The service took out full-page ads in The Virginian-Pilot newspaper through May 4, requesting viewers to call a toll free number to register support for the channel to be 24 hours with responses forwarded to Cox.

The channel was based in Orlando, Florida and had an $11 million production center with 16,500-square-foot (1,530 m2) soundstage built at Universal Studios in late 1995.

Mayo and IVI were also minority owners of the channel, and other investors included venture capital firm Medical Innovation Partners, Inc. 15 minutes an hour on AHN was devoted to shopping.

[17] This turmoil spurred reviews of company strategies and the cancellation of some transactions, including the sale of the AHN stake.

[18] An investment group of former Columbia/HCA officials, including Richard Scott and David Vandewater, took control of the network in late 1997, and live series resumed.

On June 16, 1998, AHN presented the first human birth carried live over the Internet, from Orlando's Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

The birth brought AHN major national and worldwide media attention and was even the focus of an editorial cartoon two days later in USA Today.

At the start of 2000, the station began new headquarters in Los Angeles, and about half of its Orlando workforce was laid off, leaving 40 people out of work.

At the time, The Health Network stated it was moving more of its production to New York and Los Angeles so it could feature more celebrities on its lineup.

[27] In January 2011, the channel's carriage remained significantly lower than most cable networks, only holding a reach of 50 million homes.

The rebranding was meant to reflect a broadening of the network's concept targeting women aged 25–54, focusing upon life events and "the drama inherent in our everyday lives".

Programs span the topics of medical emergencies (Untold Stories of the E.R., Mystery Diagnosis), addiction and mental illness (Cracking Addiction, Hoarding: Buried Alive), pregnancy and childbirth (A Baby Story, Outrageous Births: Tales from the Crib), and sex (Sex Sent Me to the ER).
