The history of Sundance TV
Sundance TV, originally called The Sundance Channel, has been around since 1996. It was affiliated at that time with the Sundance Film Festival. Most folks today don’t know this but that film festival was founded by actor Robert Redford, known in his younger days for playing the Sundance Kid in a pair of movies. That’s where the name came from.
Because of its affiliation with the film festival, the channel mostly aired documentaries and independent films from around the world. It was fairly successful, but in the 2010s that content mostly goes to Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming players.
After having been bought by the parent company of AMC in 2009, Sundance slowly rebranded itself as more of a general purpose lifestyle channel. Looking at it now I see reruns of old TV shows and movies from the 1980s and 1990s. Some of this content is available on streaming as well but if you’re going to watch these shows as they were intended, you’ll want to watch them live on a TV, not on-demand on your phone. That’s the way to get the rhythm of them just right.
