America One is an over-the-air television network in the United States. The network serves over 170 LPTV, Class A, Full Power, Cable and Satellite affiliate stations. At least 20 of the stations carry America One's complete 168-hour weekly transmission. It is the successor to Channel America.

America One airs a great deal of low-end and international sports broadcasts, reruns and syndicated programming, and a nightly newscast from the Independent News Network, based in Davenport, Iowa.
America One holds the U.S. broadcast rights to the Canadian Football League, East Coast Hockey League, Hawaii Winter Baseball (ironically, America One does not have a Hawaii affiliate), and the USAR Hooters Pro Cup. America One also aired the American Hockey League's All Star Game in 2007. America One syndicates many of these broadcasts to various regional sports networks in the US (usually, those which are not part of the Fox Sports Net family).
The network had previously held rights to the National Lacrosse League and the IRB Sevens until Versus acquired those rights prior to the 2007 season.
America One is the smallest commercial, non-regional network in America to provide news and sports programming. America One had been offering its own live video stream through its Web site, but it has since been shut down indefinitely, though apparently, temporarily. At least one affiliate, WKFK-LP, streams limited America One programming live, mostly daytime programs.
By chance, America One is also the only broadcast network, and the only network outside of Game Show Network, to air off-network reruns of a game show, as it airs the Groucho Marx-era You Bet Your Life Monday mornings at 9:30 AM Eastern Time.
America One is owned by the USFR Media Group, which also owns KTBU channel 55 in Houston, Texas. KTBU does not carry the full America One transmission nor does it use any of its branding; it continues to be known as "55 The Tube" as it has been since the station commenced broadcasting in 1998. In fact, America One itself does very little self-promotion of its branding or programs on air, and as such, many America One affiliates appear to be "independent" stations.
