C-SPAN2 has long carried a series called BOOKTV that takes over the channel on weekends (15 years and counting):

Canada has a subscription channel call Book Television that devotes some of its time to books and some to book-inspired shows.

With 500+ channels available on most systems there was no reason not to carve up a corner for litfic and other book genres.
