Having 1 random show listed under the "Programming" heading is pointless, create a formal heading with more info. The artile looks like a mess like it was. Also its already mentioned several times throughout the artile that it was formally called Life Network. Enough time has passed that removing that first little bit can happen. Having that bit of info listed forever is pointless, at some point it has to be removed. 72.142.251.81 18:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The station was know as Life for 12 years, and has been known as Slice for four months. Someone who is searching for info on Life and is redirected here should find out quickly why this has happened.

And I have finaly found the place in the Manual of Style that directs us to include the former name: see Wikipedia:Redirect#What_needs_to_be_done_on_pages_that_are_targets_of_redirects.3F, which says:
