Grit is an American free-to-air television network owned by the Scripps Networks subsidiary of the E. W. Scripps Company.^[4] The network features classic westerns, both TV series and films.^[5]

The network is available in many media markets via the digital subchannels of free-to-air television stations and on the digital tiers of select cable providers through a local affiliate of the network.

Originally, Katz sold the network to affiliated TV stations via ad split, but by October 2015 had moved to paying carriage fees in exchange for distributing the network's ad inventory.^[6]¹ Grit used direct response advertising as a meter of viewers before switching to Nielsen rating C-3.^[6]³ It is available on Dish Network, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, U-verse TV, and Frndly TV.
