Strands #212
“Channel surfing”
🟡🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. I was kind of dreading today's puzzle as soon as I saw the theme: "Channel surfing".
I correctly grasped that this would be about American TV networks (and found the spangram of NETWORK right away), and realized that I would be at an immediate disadvantage as a Brit.
I needn't have worried. I'd heard of all five networks and was able to round the board surprisingly quickly, starting with DISCOVERY in the top left-hand corner. This, plus the spangram, cornered off PARAMOUNT on the opposite side for my second answer.
The bottom half was a bit trickier, but it didn't take me too long after I grabbed HISTORY in the bottom right. I saw HALLMARK to its left and was then able to unscramble the anagram of IFLTEMIE to LIFETIME, which completed the puzzle.
