Smithsonian Networks (SNI/SI) is a joint venture between Showtime Networks and the Smithsonian Institution. The service consists of Smithsonian Channel HD, Smithsonian On Demand, and smithsoniannetworks.com.

The network’s content is inspired by the Smithsonian Institution’s museums, research facilities and magazines – and features original non-fiction programming that covers a wide range of historical, scientific and cultural subjects. On September 26, 2007, the Smithsonian Channel HD began airing on DirecTV's new HD lineup. Dish Network added the HD channel on May 12, 2008.

Smithsonian Networks is also available on Verizon FIOS and Charter Communications, both as a linear HD channel and Smithsonian Channel On Demand in both High Definition and standard definition.
