Discovery, TLC, Science Channel, National Geographic, et al. Does it break you're heart a little whenever you flip past one of these channels and see that they are airing another show about ghost hunting, finding bigfoot, or Honey Boo Boo-esque human train wrecks?
Or how about CNN? Do they even show the news anymore? All I see are documentaries they've bought the TV rights to, Anthony Bourdain and Forensic Files.
Right
that is exactly right
how much of a heartache
those long lost channels cause
Discovery, TLC, Science Channel, National Geographic, et al.
should not even be called
Discovery, TLC, Science Channel, National Geographic, et al.
because there is nothing reminiscent there about
Discovery, TLC, Science Channel, National Geographic, et al.
CNN probably stopped showing the news
even when they were trying really hard
to show the news
because they kept flipping their slant
and featuring know-nothing reporters and anchors
who kept trying to find a slant in mid-report
CNN in its defense
did have a handful of knowledgeaboule experts
but they must have wanted too much from CNN or something
so they had to let them go
and now all that is left of CNN
is Certainly Nothing Noteworthy
♪ Not even Mad Scientists

HLN sucks i miss the old Headline News.
CNN Headline News - next/closes in the 1990's

CNN needs new management it's suppose to a news channel not entertainment or taped programming for hours and hours.
... and how can we forget the useless POS channel that still has the nerve to call itself HISTORY...
If you deflect the topic of the thread from the show to me, our discussion is over
CNN needs new management it's suppose to a news channel not entertainment or taped programming for hours and hours.
I wholeheartedly agree that CNN desperately needs new management. The problem with 24 hour news is that very few noteworthy events happen during that time. When something does happen they tend to blow the subject matter way out of proportion. It is not just CNN. Fox reruns a great portion of their programming twice a day without bothering to make edits. Bill O'Reilly has 1/12th of the programming during a week, but he barely has an hour of content per day. MSNBC is not much different, except on the weekends.
Unless an unlikely catastrophic event such as WWIII breaks out, the market for constant televised news will continue to fall out of favour. I suppose it is a positive that the world continues to get better. The more entertainment and taped programming means that peace is the future.
When were those networks "respected" or "educational"?
I used to work on real educational television in Chicago, bringing actual college courses to air. I worked for actual accredited universities. That is truly educational TV!
It's downright depressing how channels that used to be great are now not even mediocre.
Like others, I miss the old HLN, when they were truly Headline News. You could tune in at any time, day or night, and within minutes be up on whatever was newsworthy at that moment. I loved that you could set your watch by their segments--news, sports, weather, always at exactly the same time on the hour and half-hour.
How about a channel with the word "true" in its name, TruTV, that shows fake GARBAGE like Operation Repo?

Hi Grace!
Yes, it's a shame that HLN (née CNN) is out of the TV news business. But we still have MSNBC, which, now that Microsoft is no longer involved, has become the go-to channel for breaking news. It's a win-win; my shows aren't interrupted and I can still get breaking news via live TV.

Dude! You're here! 😁

Wait, m$ is no longer involved in MSNBC? I don't think I knew that. What's their coverage like these days? I don't want heavy spinning--in ANY political direction--when getting my news, which is why I avoid Faux News like the plague. I just want facts. Is it impossible to just get news these days, without all the spin?!
