INSP is one of today's most popular cable television networks. At a time when most networks are losing audiences, INSP has continued to set records. Our unique programming approach has made us one of the fastest-growing basic cable networks—yes, even in this era of cord-cutting. We’re currently available to 80 million U.S. households, 24 hours a day, through more than 2,800 cable systems, TELCOs, and digital broadcast services like the DISH Network and DIRECTV. INSP is consistently ranked in the top 25 or better in CableFax Daily’s Primetime Rankings (published weekly), beating out networks like Bravo, AMC, MTV, Paramount, and more. 

And, through our Imagicomm subsidiary, INSP content is distributed on an expanding array of OTT platforms, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and in retails locations like Walmart and more.

Our talented INSP team is what makes all of this success possible, and it’s a team that is always growing. So, while our tagline is “Heroes live here,” we definitely believe they work here, too!
