Within two months Cox Communications had started carrying Palladia (then known as MHD) in New Orleans, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Phoenix.

In 2007 Service Electric Cable Television began to carry the channel for those in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. On October 4, 2007, DirecTV began carrying the network nationwide. Initially, Mitsubishi Electric Digital Televisions was the exclusive sponsor of Palladia and continues to partially sponsor them. Currently, some cable systems carry the station.
