More than the sports, though, I can remember that Prism used to run some movies late Friday/Saturday nghts that a 16-year-old or 18 year-old male would find rather, um, interesting. 
The network met its end when Comcast bought Prism's parent company and started an all-sports network in town that continues to exst to this day.

I'm in my mid-30s and grew up in Berks County. We had a subscription to Prism. Remember watching Phillies, Flyers, Sixers games but also Wings games, too, every once in a while. And yes, those Saturday night late night movies were always interesting.
