You mean they are finally going to start calling it by a name more
reflective of their actual programming? It's about time...



A friend of mine used to say the History Channel ought to be called the
Hitler Channel. Now instead of WWII documentaries every night we get
Modern
Marvels: The Garbage Can.

Yeah, what is UP with that?

I mean, "This Old House" was cool -- but now there are clones of it on every
single cable channel.

If my wife is any example, it's easy to see why it's popular. She
watches it all the time to gather ideas on house/kitchen/bathroom
mods.

She gets to see exactly what the modifications look like when done so
she can decide if it's something worth doing in our place. She can't
be the only woman watching. In fact, this might be a woman thing.

From where I sit, it's been The Military Channel for several months
already...


I held off subscribing to Digital Cable for a long time, but finally took
the plunge about 3 months ago.

One of the things that I wanted out of Digital Cable was the Discovery
Wings channel, which I saw one time at my brother-in-law's house.

In typical "grass is greener" fashion, once I got the Digital Cable, I
found that all the shows that interested me (ie, that had any relationship
to GA - like the Learning to Fly series and the one with the two guys who
build a plane from sheet metal) are never actually on. Instead, it's been
all the shows highlighting military planes...

So now they've made it "official" as the website says. But it seems to me
like it was unofficial for a while already...

I wouldn't mind that so much if they had a rotation of more than two dozen
shows. I'll watch "Wings of the Red Star" once and three weeks later I tune
in and there it is again. And just in case you miss it around dinner time,
it will be on again just before bedtime!

On Comcast, Wings Channel watches you!

Bummer... I always wanted to get that channel to watch the only 3 GA
prorams on learning to fly and the 2 on building a plane. My step-son gets
the thing and I just bought him a VCR to tape the programs for me!
