Defy TV est une chaîne numérique diffusée gratuitement sur l'ensemble du territoire américain. Sa programmation repose principalement sur des séries télévisées classiques, souvent issues de catalogues allant des années 1960 au début des années 2000. Les téléspectateurs peuvent s'attendre à une grille remplie de séries policières, de drames judiciaires et de programmes d'action-aventure diffusés à l'origine sur les grands réseaux. La chaîne propose aussi occasionnellement des westerns et des séries de science-fiction, ce qui lui confère un large attrait rétro. Contrairement aux chaînes centrées sur un seul genre, Defy TV mélange ces programmes plus anciens sans cadre thématique strict, ce qui peut donner une programmation variant sensiblement d'un créneau à l'autre.

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas le câble ou le satellite, Defy TV est accessible via une antenne dans de nombreuses zones métropolitaines. La chaîne diffuse également son flux en direct sur plusieurs plateformes télévisées gratuites avec publicité, ce qui la rend disponible sur les appareils connectés et les téléviseurs intelligents. Un guide typique de la journée peut lister plusieurs épisodes d'une même série à la suite, suivis d'une émission différente
