The interruption of brand identity can prove costly, particularly in a crowded lineup where it takes viewers time to find a channel or to come back after favorite programming is discontinued. ABC Family provides a good example of the impact on ratings as the channel progressed from Family to Fox Family to ABC Family, alienating viewers along the way. The ratings have posted a mild rebound since the procession of changes began in 1998. Even though Spike TV (formerly TNN and The Nashville Network) has always catered to a male demographic with testosterone-driven lineups, the rebranding process will require adroit navigation and patience.
