Why I'm hacked off at the History Channel.

42. Bravo did showcase classic films akin to TCM's presentation

as well as filmed versions of performing arts. They also came up with the Queer Eye series, and once the reality horse was out of the barn it soon became their bread and butter.

Headline News was launched by CNN a couple of years after that channel's debut. It gave you a thirty minute version of the CNN news, repeated on a loop and updated every few hours. In the days before widespread internet usage it was a great way to catch national and international news in a quick way, and they had fairly personable hosts delivering it. But after a decade or two they started adding bullshit like Glenn Beck and eventually got away from news altogether. It's still around, but now it's just wall-to-wall forensic and crime shows.
