I thin kthey just ran out of programs. I started seeing rerun after
rerun on it before it died.

Yeah, but I could watch those reruns over and over without getting
tired of them.

[grumble, grumble]


To be honest, so could I. Some of them, anyway.

Heck, I would settle for the Discovery Channel running a few episodes each
week like they used to do.

Also, I think a show where you go from flyin to flyin interviewing
people would be cool.

Last night PBS aired a documentary following an American Muslim getting his
pilot's licence. (I'm pleased to say that being a Muslim turned out to be
a complete non-factor in the show.)

But, following him and his family as he made his way to his PP-SEL was very
entertaining. I'm sure you could make several episodes following the
adventures of good and bad students as they go for their certificate.

There's lots of easy, low cost production material that could fill up an
aviation channel and keep airplane heads like us entertained.

oh, wait...pro wrestling *IS* science fiction.

"American Pilot" has a certain ring to it, eh?

I've been an "Expanded Basic Cable" guy for the last 20 years.. In the
mid
90's Discovery Wings was included and I could watch it any time of the day
and be highly entertained. Then they moved it high up into the tier and
out of my channel range. Then it became the Military Channel.

I recently up dated my AV system to join this millennium and the Military
Channel is now in my channel line up.

What a POS!

My question is, does anyone have the back story of how the Discovery Wings
channel became the Military Channel? Everybody I knew considered
Discovery
Wings a fantastic channel and I assumed it had high ratings.

Now I've got 250 channels including such winners as the Extreme Basket
Weaving Channel. I can't for the life of me figure out why some network
genius can't see the value of bringing back Discovery Wings.

I was actually thinking something like Ramp Rats or Airport Bums
