Channel Drift (Or: Why Cable TV Networks Are All the Same Now)

07:53

MTV used to show music videos. Bravo was home to opera and jazz programming. The Learning Channel focused on educational programming. The History Channel aired shows about history. Discovery: nature shows. A&E: fine arts and educational content. Now they all air a lot of reality TV programming like Vanderpump Rules, MILF Manor (I had to look this one up to make sure it's an actual show), and Duck Dynasty. This video from Captain Midnight explains how and why "channel drift" happened (hint: follow the money).
