What we found is just that the name 'ION' was adopted from its parent company ION Media Networks.
The information about what the letters 'ION' stands for is not published online. Before its rebranding in 2006, it was known as i (Independent Television).
In the "i" era, its scheduled consisted mainly of infomercials (an industry Running Gag was that the "i" name stood for "infomercial").
The company claims that ION delivers television entertainment and choice through innovation, offering quality content, new formats and innovative packages that are affordable and accessible to all consumers.
They use their unique content and broadcast capabilities to deliver innovative in-home and out-of home television services.
