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.


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.

Pawn Stars and American Pickers at least tend to feature historical items and some education about them in there, and that is enough for me to enjoy them and agree that they belong on History.

The fishing shows, Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men, etc... does not belong. They need to cut those and go back to badass documentaries.
