The Learning Channel used to have good content. I used to watch Connections and Archaeology on TLC. Now there's no learning content at all there. I like the History Channel, but it was too littered with junk like ghost stories. Some of their content was good, if a bit lightweight. I remember when The History Channel started running movies and then having people talk about the real history versus the movie version. They soon stopped having the discussion. It seemed like a think excuse to run movies instead of history content.
When the Sci-Fi channel first started out, they would run whatever was cheap, like old failed sci-fi TV series or old obscure movies. Then they started putting out some good content, but that got eroded by content like wrestling, which doesn't fit on a channel supposedly devoted to science fiction.
