What network is this on? Lifetime or A&E?!

I know Hoarders started on A&E, but then Lifetime picked up the rights and re-branded the show as Hoarders: Family Secrets (or something like that). When did they make the switch back to A&E again?

This Wikipedia page is pretty helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hoarders_episodes

Thanks, but it doesn't really answer why they keep switching networks. What is going on?!

Hearst and Disney moved the show back and forth between two of their cable networks. I can't tell you for certain why this was done, but I would surmise the reason is that they thought it would do better on Lifetime, it didn't, and so now it's back on A&E.

If Wikipedia doesn't answer your other question; they returned it to A&E for the new season, which began on January 3.

I think it's just the re-runs on Lifetime. It's an A&E show.
