Smile (formerly known as "Smile of a Child" until 2017) was an American Christian-based children's TV network owned by TBN. Although primarily a Christian-based network, Smile acquired some secular programming from outside producers and the public domain, such as Lassie and The Big Garage, as well as acquiring the U.S. rights to Canadian series such as Mickey's Farm. It also aired family-oriented films with religious/inspirational themes on Saturday afternoons and Sunday evenings. The network ran for nearly 20 years from December 24, 2005, until its closure on January 12, 2025.
