Planet Green rebrands as Destination America

[CK SatGuy]

really dumb question..wasn't this the channel Discovery acquired from CBS that was a similar focus "CBS Eye on the people"? I think it became Discovery Civilization---Discovery Times Channel--Discovery Green--To destination america ..almost a full circle?..... nahh thats Discovery ID I think..this one was discovery health..(edited to correct)

Planet Green replaced Discovery Home & Leisure. Oprah's network replaced Discovery Health.

BBCA shows Next Gen only because Patrick Stewart is British.

Actually it may be more related to the British fascination with scifi. http://m.airlockalpha.com/node/7369

Don't collapse my little world.

Besides, then why didn't they pick up any other Star Trek series, huh? HUH?

There was no room after they added the x-files.

Looks like the channel is a mix of travel channel and food network

Yep, just means we get to pay a second or third time even, for the same re-purposed shows

In my opinion, these suites of channels are part of the problem with Pay tv today. Sometimes less is more. How many Discovery channels to show the same shows. Someone previously mentioned MTV. They created VH1 to allow more non music programming on MTV, then they created MTV2 to allow more non music programming on VH1. Then they created niche channels in both MTV and VH1s suites to allow MTV2 to play the same redundant programs. Now you have all POP/Hip Hop music on every MTV channel at the same time, and POP focus on VH1 most of the time. When they play music. The only one to allow variety is VH1 Classic.

And the only one worth watching. I watch a lot of classic concerts, That Metal Show, and Documentaries such as Metal Evolution. These are all original VH1 Classic programs and some only shown on VH1 Classic. I just wish they were in HD.

Planet Green became a dumping ground for replays of old Discovery Channel shows. How many time can you watch Treasure Quest, etc.

....Oh, That was rhetorical

They ought to name it Destination World, then it would be just like the Travel Channel.

Remember when The Travel Channel was just a shill for the cruise industry!

Most channels change over the years.

And not for the better!

For years I could have sworn that The Travel Channel was owned by Discovery Communications, and it turns out it is owned by Scripps. All those channels do start to look alike after awhile I guess.

Velocity is a little bit better than hd theater

OMG, I looked at the guide info for "Green" and it's garbage..

I had expected to see shows about how to live green which is something I have a real interest in.

No such thing going on there. Pawn Queens marathon all day...

REALLY???????

I go through the channels and it's nothing but

BBQ Wars, Cupcake Wars, Garden Wars, Aquarium Wars, Parking Wars, Naughty Dancing Babies, Pole Stripper Toddlers, etc.... :doh:

Seriosuly, : ????????????????????

We have become a nation of mouth breathing idiots, we sit there on the couch with our mouth's hanging open, catching flies and waiting for them to shovel more pablum down our throats..

Even with the AT250 it's extremely difficult to find anything of value to watch anymore.

And it never, ever gets better..

We're trapped in a whirlpool of stupidity and there's no way out but DOWN......

Yeah, but BBCA zooms the picture a bit to pretty much fill the whole screen. Actually, it's not bad.
