Dispute
A number of legal disputes over the ownership of the channel and the holding company saw broadcasts interrupted on 8 September 2010. Although programming resumed on 1 November 2010, this consisted of looping repeats. Ownership issues were resolved in February 2011, after which point the channel resumed making new programmes, including new episodes of the flagship live chat show "On The Edge", which returned on 3 March 2011.
During the dispute, a concerted effort was made by Ian R Crane to keep the channel in the public eye. This included founding the "Edge Media Rescue Plan" to solicit donations from viewers to aid in the continued development of new programmes. Funds from the rescue plan were used to support new programming on the channel when it returned to air, along with development and maintenance of the website.

Famous quotes containing the word dispute:
“As for the dispute about solitude and society, any comparison is impertinent. It is an idling down on the plane at the base of a mountain, instead of climbing steadily to its top.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The king said, -Divide the living boy in two; then give half to the one, and half to the other. But the woman whose son was alive said to the king -because compassion for her son burned within her - -Please, my lord, give her the living boy; certainly do not kill him! The other said, -It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it. Then the king responded: -Give the first woman the living boy; do not kill him. She is his mother.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings. 3:25-37.
