Fave TV was an American digital multicast television network owned by the CBS Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of Paramount Skydance Corporation. The channel launched in the markets covered by CBS Television Stations on December 15, 2020, usually as a DT4 subchannel.[1][2] The network had no other distribution channels outside that limited over-the-air availability and rare distribution over local cable systems.

The channel quietly shut down on February 2, 2026, and was replaced with either Outlaw or 365BLK from Free TV Networks if already not replaced, as some stations had done before the end of January, with no public statement of its winddown outside its website indicating no further program listings after February 2, and a subsequent redirection of its website to Paramount+.[3][4]
Programming
editThe network's programming was mostly taken from the program archives of Paramount Skydance's adult networks, along with syndicated sitcom repeats from its suite of cable networks, and overnight paid programming.
