The Weather Channel, the History Channel, and MTV all should serve as warnings to every network executive.
A short term boost by going away from your core programming, followed by a long and possibly fatal decline.
You don't watch Animal Planet for shows about animals any more. MTV doesn't feature music. The closest the History Channel comes to history is yet another show about Hitler being an alien.
If you are a niche network and you wander too far from your programming then it will catch up to you. Sooner rather then later.

I tune in to watch douche bags build their "dream" tree house.

All of this! I want music videos on MTV and History on the History Channel. I really don't mind the Ancient Aliens stuff and the historically based fiction series like "Vikings" and "Hatsfields & McCoys", but shite like "Ice Road Truckers", "Ax Men", "Pawn Stars", and "American Pickers" has got to go.

Yep.
I remember growing up how stoked I was when our local cable provider got the History Channel. I watched it constantly, and I couldn't get enough of their documentaries with Edward Hermann doing narration.
Now it's completely unwatchable, and literally the only bit of history on that channel is when the guy from Pawn Stars gives some half-arsed explanation of the historical background of an antique someone brings in.
