Well, what you guys don't realize is that the 'Discovery Wings'
channel produces very, very, very little of it's own programming.
Almost none, actually. It is owned by the same company that owns the
Discovery Channel (obviously), the Hisory Channel and The Learning
Channel.


"The History Channel" is an A&E network, not Discovery.

...compounded with the fact that they are a brand-new channel...


How old does a channel/station have to be before it is no longer "brand
new"?




I think that Wings is 4 or 5 years old now. It may be new to your cable
system, but it's been around for a while.

I just spent the weekend with a Discovery film crew. They are making a one
hour show about history re-enactments in aviation. They said they have 20
hours of stuff "in the can". Editing will reduce to the one hour - with
commercials.
