Not sure if this has been posted yet, but DOC *is* officially a Public Interest channel:

I'm pleased to see this added even if it is in fact part of the dark Ergen conspiracy. Thanks for posting about it. Yeah, I even watch the History channel.:up

Not interested in most of the Documentary programming they're airing. The ONLY one I saw that interested me was the Tinneaman Square one and I missed it which hopefully they'll re-run. Also I hope to see more Political Docs. like this and less Music and Sports stuff. These are just the kind of documentaries I prefer and watch although interesting Historical stuff will grab me too, watched some Ponzi scam doc. on "The History Channel" on an airplane though I refuse to watch it because I prefer the old TLC before all the Ty Pennington, room makeover nonsense. If Doc could achieve this I'd REALLY be interested.

There was an awesome documentary on the Waco slaughter of the Branch Dividians. It was OUTSTANDING! The entire documentary was narrated by testiony to the Congessional Committees, interviews, videos by the victims and other actors (as in involved parties, not "actors") in this completely misreported story. There was no "narrator" per se. I have to catch this again.

Regardless of you political view it is one to watch!

See ya

I saw that Waco documentary also. Quite enlightening to say the least.

IMO, this is finally some "compelling content". I think it's actually a good choice to replace PBS You.

Agreed , This may prevent it though

"There is not a single genre, format, or era of documentary filmmaking in which we would not be interested. We seek to educate while we entertain. We will show short docs, political docs, bios, sports, student docs, amateur docs, international and foreign docs, nature docs, etc. We are not afraid of a little controversy. In fact, we prefer the edgier and more personal films."

I know the Canadian version got in some trouble for airing "Sex:The Anabelle Chong Story", which includes hardcore pornographic scenes. I still don't know if these channels are related though.

BTW...to whoever was complaining there was too much musical content...January was "music month". Try again in a few days.

They have anawful lot of Canadian content for instance Take King of the Hill It about a Canadian pitcher on the Cubs..Most of the Music Doc's are from the BBC

I am very happy to see this channel I wonder if it's associated with the Documentary Channel Canada on BEV and StarChoice.
