[5] Variety praised the move as "capitalizing on the expected channel boom from TV’s conversion to digital distribution over the next few years.

[7] The original format of the network consisted of longer blocks of made-for-television movies with limited commercial interruptions, airing twice a day.

[9][10] On October 13, 2013, the network debuted its first original series, the reality-based murder mystery program Killer Profile.

[11] In addition, three series that had previously aired on sister network The Biography Channel – The Haunting Of, I Survived... and Celebrity Ghost Stories – also moved to LMN that year.

In March 2014, A+E Networks moved the drama series Those Who Kill to LMN, becoming the first scripted series to air on the network, although it solely moved to LMN to burn off the remaining episodes of the low-rated A&E program.
