Original series
In its early years, INSP produced a wide range of original programming, including specials, concerts, and inspirational entertainment. While some of the overnight or early morning programming was faith-based, the network's daytime and evening scheduling was original content focused on a variety of family-oriented and traditional value productions. In 2010, with INSP's rebrand, the channel subsequently changed its programming. It increased the amount of original series, but also diversified into other areas of content, such as dramas and lifestyle television series. One of the first major projects of this transition was A Walton's Family Reunion, a program that increased the network's focus on Western-themed entertainment. In the special, the surviving cast members of The Waltons reunited on Walton's Mountain almost 30 years after the series' conclusion.
In 2011, a short-form episode from INSP's Moments titled "Thank You for Your Service" became viral. It was featured on ABC's The View, the Pentagon Channel, and USAA's website. It was also shown at several national conventions and conferences, including the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America, and Jewish War Veterans. During a Vietnam memorial in which "Thank You for Your Service" aired, General Claude M. Kicklighter noted, "This stirring tribute never fails to inspire deep emotions. It has helped bring healing and encouragement to true patriots, many of whom have felt taken for granted and ignored."
In 2013, Old Henry was launched by INSP, a series of interstitials. Actors who appeared on the interstitials included Ralph Waite from The Waltons (in one of his final television roles before his death in February 2014) and Rachel Hendrix from October Baby. They aired as six separate interstitials, but due to their popularity, were merged together into a 30-minute version with additional content. In early 2014, INSP announced plans for an increased focus on original content, creating the position of Vice President of Original Programming.
Content on INSP changed again in 2015, as it premiered its first reality television series titled Handcrafted America, hosted by Jill Wagner. Handcrafted America originally aired exclusively on INSP. After its linear run, the series was licensed by Amazon Prime Video. In the program, host Wagner travels the country to interview talented artisans who continue to make products the traditional way, with their own two hands. A year later, one of its longest running original series The Cowboy Way premiered, running until 2020, and aired for seven seasons. In 2019, Ultimate Cowboy Showdown, hosted by Trace Adkins premiered, airing for four seasons until 2023. It continued with the same strategic approach as The Cowboy Way, with the entire schedule for INSP having a focus on Westerns.
As of 2025, INSP has a number of original series currently airing or new series in development, many of which are described as Western dramas. Into the Wild Frontier and Wild West Chronicles are both docudramas, exploring the historical events in the American frontier. Both have been widely praised for the depiction of the timeline in American history. The most successful historical docuseries by INSP is Elkhorn, which has run for two seasons, with the first winning many notable accolades for its depiction of Theodore Roosevelt. Blue Ridge: The Series is a police drama based on the film of the same name that premiered on INSP in 2024, and is one of a few non-Western programs that airs on the channel.
