America One is an over-the-air television network in the United States. The network serves over 152 LPTV, Class A, Full Power, Cable and Satellite affiliate stations. At least 20 of the stations carry America One's complete 168-hour weekly transmission. It is the successor to Channel America.

America One holds the U.S. broadcast rights to the Canadian Football League, East Coast Hockey League, and Hawaii Winter Baseball, and is the co-holder of National Lacrosse League rights with Versus (TV channel). America One syndicates many of these broadcasts to various regional sports networks in the US (usually, those which are not part of the Fox Sports Net family).

In 2001, America One Television obtained exclusive rights to broadcast Horse TV, one of the biggest collections of programming related to English and Western equestrian sports and lifestyles. It also airs a great deal of low-end and international sports broadcasts, reruns and syndicated programming, as well as a nightly newscast from the Independent News Network.

America One is the smallest Commercial Non Regional network in America to provide news and sports programming. The station is also available through streaming on the Internet through some of its affiliates (such as WBQP-LP in Pensacola and KDCG-LP in Opelousas). America One had been offering its own stream through its Web site, but it has since been shut down indefinitely (though apparently not forever).

America One is owned by the USFR Media Group, which also owns KTBU channel 55 in Houston, Texas. KTBU does not carry the full America One transmission nor does it use any of its branding; it continues to be known as "55 The Tube" as it has been since the station commenced broadcasting in 1998. In fact, America One itself does very little self-promotion of its branding or programs on air, and as such, many America One affiliates appear to be "independent" stations.

[edit] Trivia

America One is the default name of the marina in the Japanese building tileset in SimCity 3000.
