It seems to have become the nutjob/tinfoil hat/fear mongering channel as of late.

Conspiracy Theories, Invasion from Outerspace, UFO's, and Disaster Scenarios. It comes off more as the front page of The Weekly World News than having anything to do with history.

I permanently changed the channel on them when they ran a program stating "many expert sources have proven that the 1918 influenza was a superbug from outerspace, possibly brought here on a comet or asteroid."

Looking at their website, they have now over 25 shows on UFO's and Space Aliens alone.
WTF?? UFO's?!?

Now a show on Global Warming. I thought this was the History Channel not the Weather Channel.

At last count I found 17 shows involving apocolypse or armageddeon in some way.

It seems to me the History Channel discovered it's demographic was elderly, conservative uneducated & senile nincompoops and decided to pander to them, instead of actually involve itself with History.


Okay Im done ranting now.
