Among the programs broadcast on SPN were ''[[Video Concert Hall]]'', an early [[music video]] show (before the launch of [[MTV]]); ''News from Home'', a program for Canadians in the US, hosted by early [[CNN]] news anchor Don Miller; ''[[The Shopping Game]]'', a Nicholson-Muir [[game show]] produced in [[Nashville]] and hosted by [[Art James]]; ''The Susan Noon Show'', featuring celebrity interviews; ''Nutrition Dialogue'', hosted by Dr. Betty Kamen; ''[[Sewing with Nancy]]''; ''The [[Paul Ryan (actor)|Paul Ryan]] Show'', another celebrity interview program with the actor/interviewer of the same name; and ''Moscow Meridian'', a [[Current affairs (news format)|current-affairs]] program produced by [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] authorities and hosted by [[Vladimir Posner]]. [[Rerun]]s of old [[situation comedies]] and movies, mostly from [[B movie|low-budget]] studios, rounded out the schedule.
In 1984, the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA) paid SPN to broadcast some [[college football]] games of the [[Division I-AA]] playoffs, following a [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] ruling (''[[NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma]]'') that halted the NCAA's practice of negotiating television contracts for its members.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/30866152/iaa_playoffs_spell_trouble_money/ |title=I-AA playoffs spell trouble M-O-N-E-Y |first=Roscoe |last=Nance |newspaper=[[The Clarion-Ledger]] |___location=[[Jackson, Mississippi]] |page=2D |date=December 1, 1984 |accessdate=April 22, 2019 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref>
