Quest is an American

reality series
aimed at adults between the ages of 25 and 54.

The network, which broadcasts in

standard definition, is available in several large and mid-sized markets via digital subchannel affiliations with broadcast television stations. Stations have the option of placing their Quest-affiliated subchannels on cable television
providers serving their market (via existing carriage agreements for local broadcast stations) to provide additional local coverage.

History

The formation of Quest was announced on November 7, 2017, as a partnership between Cooper Media (a company formed at that same time to serve as the owner of Quest and its sister network,

Justice Network) and Tegna Inc. The network was given an expected launch date of January 2018. Tegna tapped several of its 46 owned or operated television stations to serve as the network's charter affiliates, in exchange for maintaining a minority ownership stake in the network.[2][3][4][5]

The network was officially launched on January 29, 2018, at 6:00 p.m.

History series Dogfights
as the network's inaugural program.

In May 2019, it was announced that Tegna would be acquiring both the Justice Network and Quest.[6]

As of December 2018, Quest has affiliation agreements with television stations in 67 media markets (including 24 of the top 30) encompassing 35 states, covering 60.81% of all households with at least one television set in the United States.[8]

When its launch was announced, the network reached a charter affiliation agreement with network co-partner Tegna, which initially planned to debut the network on 22 of its television stations. On December 20, 2017, the network signed a multi-station agreement with

TelevisaUnivision USA to carry its programming on five of its Univision and UniMás owned-and-operated television stations as well as one station affiliated with Justice Network.[9][10]
