Aviation TV

Does anyone know of any more plans for a Discovery Wings-type channel?
It just seems like there would still be enough interest to support a TV
channel devoted just to flying. Thoughts?

Much of the Wings channel got folded in the Military channel, I thought.

DireTV was one of the big providers for that network, they switched to
"The Military Channel" about a year ago. It shows much of the same
programming though.

The only channel that still has aviation related stuff on it around here is
the "Outdoor Channel", go figure.
It is an excellent weekly program called "Wings to Adventure".
They have been on for a couple of seasons and have plans to produce DVD's of
previous seasons.

Productions geared toward the flying community would be awesome but
unfortunately, we're a small percentage of a fraction of a niche of the
population.

Not that Wings covered aviation very well anyway. If I ran a network named
Wings I think I'd probably just move the whole damn operation to OSH once a
year for the whole week of Airventure.

There wasn't before; why does it seem so now?

If there would have been more productions, enough productions, so that they
didn't have to recycle the same shows month after month, there would have been a
chance of it surviving, IMHO.

To put it simply, they drove that channel into the ground, by not investing in
new programming. It would not have been that hard to pull off, and the result
of not keeping current was very predictable.

How many here could sit and think of 50 new series titles and schemes, in the
period of a couple hours? I know I could.

I did. Then after Wings folded into Military, I filmed some fishing episodes
instead.

All we need now is several million in financing and we're in business.
