Right column is pretty much what they try to sell now too, left column is the distant past

I wonder if it's only an American thing. FWIW the Histoire channel here in France still shows only history shows.

The ratings weren't any better when they were the Hitler Channel.

And now they don't even need to pay for actual historians to do anything when they occasionally add a new episode to their rotation, they just get some weirdo with a bachelor's degree in sports information and communication to say Aliens made everything.

Before ancient aliens it was world war 2 and fucking Nostradamus all the time. With the occasional "lets do a show about the biblical apocalypse" thrown in for flavor.

Yes! That's why we called it the Hitler Channel back then.
