Don't forget the James Taylor, Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary concerts that the local PBSer's run during every Pledge Week.
...they run James Taylor concerts? SCORE!

A good chunk of their programming is not history related. All PBS broadcasts is the occasional Ken Burns documentaries, a handful of NOVA episodes, and a handful of Frontline or Independent Lens episodes. Antiques Roadshow doesn't count![]()
Bounce the History/Science/NatGeo/Animal Planet channels out of basic cable hell and into the Premium Package pricing stratosphere. More money for mo' better programming. If they try to slide down into the Honey BooBoo gutter to cut costs/increase their profits, it's easy for the cable customers to drop them in retaliation.![]()
Never launch the channel in the first place. The First Law of Programming Thermodynamics states that all channels will start out highly distinct and ordered, but over time will, through television entropy, become disordered and indistinguishable from one another, all carrying the same low-grade pap.
Apparently they have done some AH stuff called "Hitler's Britain": http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=80996&lid=7
Also what about doing programmes on space/science or is that the perview of the discovery channel?
What I want to know is, who are these people who are actually watching that show on a regular basis? Are there really enough people who take it seriously to keep doing these all day marathons?Giorgio Tsoulakos and the alien conspiracy mind-control crowd are a problem for credibility, get them off the air and get more PhDs with genuine topics as a start. Mini-series like the Hatfields and McCoys was a good start, but the mass of alien/conspiracy/prophecy nonsense makes it a running joke. Give the paranoid extremists their night one evening a week and leave the rest for genuine history or recreations.

I just watched a bit of it on youtube and gave up within minutes because they had the unmentionable sea mammal succeed (also somehow landing 4k panzers in the initial invasion too..).
Just make sure you know your Flanders & Swann on both the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.I believe that is actually the Second Law of Programming Thermodynamics.
