There are some occasional good history shows on it but mostly not. Tonight on H2 (usually the better history channel) is Ancient Aliens with Mr Wigged out hair. On the History channel is Top Gear which is a decent show but not even remotely history related.
History Channel and their parent corporation’s other related channels, as well as Discvorty etc, have gone off the rails.
Compare them to the channels in Ireland, Australia, Netherlands, UK. Canada, all with substantially lower potential audiences and budgets, and substantially better programming, both by quality and quantity.
The C level Executives at US TV channels have utterly failed at promoting their own self interest. It’s a sad commentary on the state of affairs in this country.
