Court TV was the first channel on C band to switch from NTSC to digital, in about 1996. The TV Food Channel (now called Food Network, I think?) was the first channel I know of that was digital right from the start, earlier than that but I do not remember what year. (When I say digital in this case, I mean the distribution to cable companies; it was definitely in NTSC to all of the subscribers as was everything else until the 21st century.)

The switch away from NTSC continued through the rest of the 1990s and early 2000s, but I was not a subscriber through that period (I had switched to HDTV), so I do not have more details than that.
