      In March 2013, Participant Media announced that Documentary channel" target="_blank">Channel and new sister network Halogen TV would merge into one network, and both would relaunch as Pivot, a network focused on 18 to 34 year olds, with elements of programming from both networks. The change was later announced to take place on August 1 of that year.
      Documentary channel" target="_blank">Channel built up to the launch of Pivot with a countdown clock in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, where the logo normally is, saying "xx Hours xx Minutes until we Pivot", but there was no special programing taking a look back at the channel" target="_blank">channel's history, instead just showing a normal day of programing.

      Good night, and good luck.
