FETV (initialism for Family Entertainment Television and stylized as fetv) is an American cable and satellite television network owned by the Family Broadcasting Corporation. Marketed as "satellite and cable network featuring classic and inspirational programming the whole family can enjoy", the network airs a variety of classic television programs from the 1950s through the 1980s and classic movies, along with religious and televangelism programming. The service is available to over 50 million subscribers via cable, satellite and streaming platforms.

01Programming

FETV consists of classic TV programs with a wide variety of genres, including sitcoms, westerns, mystery and action series. FETV has officially launched a new logo and wording to the capital letters fetv (using the ? writing style) Marathons are periodically shown at various times of the year. FETV also airs classic movies throughout the weekend on Sundays. During the early morning hours each day, FETV airs paid programming including four hours of religious programming on Sundays.

On February 1, 2025, FETV began airing most of their classic TV programs in their original, unaltered format, rather than syndicated versions edited down to fit a 30- or 60-minute timeslot due to the increasing length of commercial breaks over time. This resulted in the network carrying an "off-the-clock" schedule, with most programming no longer starting at the top or bottom of the hour.
