Angels and Demons: How Freeform grew up with its audience, now it must keep them

One of the strongest contenders in the television network scene today, Freeform has changed its name, content, and identity more than perhaps any network out there.
UPDATED JAN 8, 2019

Good brand marketing in today's day and age is quite the guarantee for sure shot success and the Freeform network that we know today is living testimony to that. One of the strongest contenders in the television network scene today, Freeform has changed its name, content, and identity more than perhaps any network out there. Yet, while not all succeed at this transition, Freeform has flourished. 

When it started out back in 1977, one could have never expected that the future of CBN Satellite Service would be full of vampires and demons. Understandably too, since the channel at the time hadn't seen so many hands as it now has. Founded by Marion Gordon "Pat" Robertson, who along with being a media mogul was also a Southern Baptist minister who advocated a conservative Christian ideology. CBN Sattelite Service was then, a subsidiary of Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network.
