Chiller (TV network)
Chiller was an American cable and satellite television network owned by NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group subsidiary of NBCUniversal, all owned by Comcast. It also operated its own film production company as well. Chiller specialized in horror, thriller and suspense programming, mainly films.
As of February 2015, 38,820,000 American households (33.4% of households with television) received Chiller, though this declined with later removals by several cable services as carriage agreements expired.
The channel ceased operations on December 31, 2017.
On January 12, 2007, NBCUniversal announced the launch of Chiller on March 1, dedicated to films and television shows related to the horror genre. The company also stated that, aside from their own content, Chiller would feature content from competing film studios, including Lionsgate, Sony, Warner Bros., and 20th Century Fox. In February 2007, The 101, channel 101 on DirecTV, aired a "preview" of Chiller, featuring the pilot episodes of Twin Peaks and American Gothic, as well as various horror movies and programs. Sleuth, NBC Universal's mystery-themed network, later known as Cloo, aired a fourteen-hour movie marathon entitled "Chiller On Sleuth" to promote the launch of Chiller. The channel officially launched at 6:00 am Eastern/5:00 am Central on March 1. After a brief introduction to the channel, Chiller aired its first program, Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
On July 30, 2014, its carriage was merged with that of its former competitor Fearnet, a network launched by Comcast in 2006 as a video on demand service six years before their purchase of NBC Universal.
In 2017, NBCUniversal began to eliminate some of its non-prime networks in NBCU's cable portfolio by closing or rebranding these networks. Cloo closed on February 1, 2017, along with Esquire Network on June 28, and Universal HD was rebranded as the Olympic Channel on July 14.
On February 1, 2017 (the same day sister network Cloo shut down), Dish removed the channel from their lineup, which cited that most of the network's rerun-centric programming was duplicative of that available on other networks and streaming services, with Charter Communications (Spectrum, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks subsidiaries) removing the network along with Esquire Network on April 25 for the same reason. Five months later on October 2, 2017, Verizon FiOS discontinued carriage of the channel, while Mediacom quietly removed the channel from their lineup on October 23.
On November 8, 2017, Cox removed Chiller from its lineup when it refused to continue their carriage of Chiller within their new carriage agreements with NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group, removing the network from several Cox regional outlets.
