Slice is a Canadian English language cable television specialty channel owned by Alliance Atlantis Communications. Slice is a lifestyle channel directed towards women with programming including talk shows, reality tv and more.

History

Launched on January 1, 1995 as Life Network, the channel was owned by Atlantis Communications (prior to its merge with Alliance Communications) and aired daily "themed" blocks devoted to areas such as food, gardening, and home design. As other Alliance Atlantis-owned channels such as Food Network and HGTV came onstream, the channel shifted towards programming about issues relating to everyday life, mostly in the form of non-competitive reality television, talk shows, and more. Many of the programs aired on Life Network were seen on other Alliance Atlantis owned channels, such as Food Network, HGTV and Fine Living.

Slice relaunch

Plans to relaunch the channel as Slice were announced in November 2006 by Alliance Atlantis Communications.[1] The new name and programming reflects Life's shift towards a more entertainment based lifestyle programming. The name was originally revealed in a 2006 Life Network online survey on future programming strategies. The channel officially relaunched on March 5, 2007, although the on-air branding appeared intermittently during a "sneak preview" on March 3 and 4.
