History Channel has been a joke for a long long time now...
They gave up anything remotely related to history long ago.. with alternat histories.. what ifs. etc etc..
I did watch the Hattfield and McCoy miniseries, but that was the first time I’d turned on the history channel in over 5 years, and I used to watch it all the time.

True enough, and it's not just them. A few weeks ago I noticed the Military Channel was running episodes of - Who Was The Real Jesus?
Too many channels like MC or Discovery, History, etc., have rerun their own material for so long, no one watches anymore.
While claiming new shows are too expensive to produce, they're happy to run anything now as long as the get their 24 minutes of commercials per half hour.

Similar with SciFi, which became SyFy.
The owner groups are trying to de-nichify some of these niched channels by broadening their programming for more appeal.
When I got cable in 2003, I watched SciFi almost daily. Now, I seldom watch it - too many 'reality' ghost hunter type programs and wrestling and goshawful made for SyFy movies.
