What is Cheddar TV?

What is Cheddar TV? It just showed up on DIRECTV one day on Channel 354, bumping DOG-TV to Channel 560-something. Also DirecTV added Hallmark Drama to Channel 564. Unlike the other 2 Hallmark Channels this one is not in the package we subscriber too. It's available for a free preview right now along with the other Channels 566-573.

If I think it is what it is, that's the business/financial news channel aimed towards millennials that's been a resurgence lately as its been buying up more and more things, launched "Cheddar Big News" and took over MTV-U on college campuses' cable systems to become "CheddarU."
 
And Cheddar is only available if you have the internet hooked up to the DIRECTV box. It won't work as a stand alone channel. Yes, 565-570something are in a free preview. Noticed old westerns on Sony Movie Channel tonight. Smithsonian Channel looks like a cool channel to watch - NatGeo type programs, very little or no reality (hint hint, 'Wicked Tuna').

A couple of Cheddars are also available on YouTube TV, as is the Smithsonian Channel.
 
What's the idea of not providing a linear channel on Directv, a satellite TV service? Surely it lessens the amount of viewers able to access the channel a huge amount? It is available as as a traditional cable channel on a few cable providers and also OTA in a few markets isn't it?
