iNDEMAND company history timeline

1985

The service was launched nationally via satellite to cable companies in six states on November 27, 1985, with one channel of pay-per-view content, still under the Viewer's Choice name.

The QUBE project was ended in 1985 among financial losses, resulting in the sale of the Warner-Amex assets to Viacom.

1988

The Chicago Cubs played their first night game in 1988.

Also in 1988, VC merged with a competing PPV service, Home Premiere Television, a joint venture of multiple cable companies.

1989

In 1989, Group W Satellite Communications bought a 50% stake in Viewers' Choice and Request TV.

1992

According to Humphrey (1992), Cournot contributed the original curves while Rau and Mangoldt provided stability analysis.

2000

On January 1, 2000, the service changed the name and on-air look to iN DEMAND. The first program upon relaunch was Rave Un2 the Year 2000, a New Year's Eve concert performed by Prince, which was taped a couple weeks prior.

2007

Most observers trace it to 2007, when the introduction of the first iPhone launched the smartphone industry and the app-based marketplace.

2009

The company even operated in the red until 2009; yet when it began turning a significant profit, its nationwide retailing network was already dominant as an established, even unassailable, brand.

2010

In 2010, iN DEMAND began providing a free movies on demand service, Vutopia, offered on Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks.

2013

The UFC ended their relationship with all traditional wireline pay-per-view providers with UFC 235 (including iN DEMAND), choosing to go with a new distribution model through ESPN+, which is now its exclusive pay-per-view provider as of April 2019. It was the former distributor of Howard Stern's Howard TV component of his self-titled Sirius XM radio show until 2013.
