New York Islanders hockey games (with the Islanders broadcast team)
NHL Tonight (only one hour vs repeats on NHL Network)
WWE RAW
WWE SmackDown
WWE NXT
NASCAR racing
NASCAR Now
Monster Jam (a monster truck series)
Monster Energy Supercross
AMA Arenacross
Marvel's Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D.

My personal network would be a reflection of what I liked in my childhood and young adulthood

In the morning, there would be 1970s-era game shows. They can either be repeats of the classics or faithful (that is, not "updated for the 2000s") remakes. No reality shows, no exploitative talk shows like Maury or Springer.
Mid-day would be a hour-long news show...nothing eventful.
The afternoons would be for soap operas. Half of them would be revivals of the same soaps I watched as a teen in the 1980s, with new actors cast to play the same scripts/stories of that era. The other half would be updates of other now-cancelled shows, featuring new stories and a mix of past characters and new ones. All soaps would be half an hour each.
Late afternoon to early fringe would consist of family-friendly sitcoms, a local news block, and a celebrity interview-type talk show (no reality shows).
The prime time offerings would be classic "evenings" from the networks of the past. CBS's Saturday night block from the mid-1970s (All in the Family--->Carol Burnett), ABC's Tuesday nights from the early 1980s (Happy Days--->Hart to Hart), CBS's Thursday nights from the 1980s (Magnum PI--->Knots Landing), etc. These could be augmented by certain favorite stand-alone shows when needed. Sunday night would feature a big-screen film, shown with only one intermission for commercials rather than oddly-placed commercial breaks dropped in.
The late-fringe period would offer classic reruns of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, un-edited from the original broadcasts.

I'm not really a fan of televised sports, so you would not see any of it on my network.
