WTF is up with most of these TV channels?!?

[Blessed Koala]

The History channel used to be my favorite channel to take a nap to...I used to smoke a good blunt ...tune into history channel for a good Vietnam documentary or Nastradamus fukkery and fall in to a good Saturday afternoon nap but now it's just the History channel without any actual history

Roll up to TCM breh. Black and white flicks to a black n mild . Probably the only channel that's not riddled with nonsense.

Dude that's all I been rocking with for quite a while. Some of those black and white jawns aged like wine like this movie:

Plus TCM throw on some late night cult flicks which be worth the watch if there's nothing else on TV. I mainly check out that channel and a subscription service called FIlmstruck for all my entertainment

It's cheaper to buy reruns for 20-30 year-old syndicated shows than to make new content. Plus, most of these syndicated shows already have a decent fan-base who you don't need to entice to watch the programming.

• Constant reruns of old ass TV shows on Music channels (Martin, Fresh Prince, etc)
• Constant movie showings on Music channels
• Most of the channels not living by their purpose (Sundance TV showing Law and Order 30 times a day)

I been with Sling TV for a minute since the wife loves her Hallmark channels and it just seems mindboggling to me. Like what happened that I wasn't aware of since I cut the cord brehs?

Please somebody fill me in on why this is happening

I think old people took over and those are the only shows they watch

Explains it. Hence why TV Land is riddled with lame originals and 20 Gunsmoke episodes
