YTA TV (an initialism for Your Television America, commonly referred to as just YTA; informally referred to as the YTA Television Network) is an American television network which originally launched in February 1985 as a cable channel. Unusual for a network of its type, it has had multiple identities, programming directions, and brandings, along with owners, and after merging with the minor broadcast network America One in 2014, transitioning from a cable-only network to free over-the-air television. It is owned by Center Post Media, which also owns Biz Television. Approximately 41 million households have reception of YTA TV in some manner through cable or over-the-air reception. It is also available through streaming apps on various digital media players, and on its website. In February 1985, the channel originally launched as a cable channel, The Nostalgia Channel, through the efforts of former Our Gang child star George "Spanky" McFarland. The channel featured vintage movies, similar to American Movie Classics, which debuted five months earlier as a premium channel broadcasting only during the afternoon and nighttime hours, and Turner Classic Movies, which would launch nine years later. Many of the films were in the public domain. Michael E. Marcovsky was hired as network head in early 1990. He changed the channel's name to Nostalgia Television, removed movies with poor quality prints (primarily public domain movies), and added lifestyle series as well as vintage TV programs.
