Remember When…

• …American Movie Classics (AMC) played old movies?
• …Music Television (MTV), Video Hits One (VH1), and Country Music Television (CMT) aired music videos?
• …Sci Fi was science fiction?
• …History Channel aired history documentaries?
• …The Weather Channel was the weather forecast?
• …Arts & Entertainment (A&E) had an arts component?
• …The Learning Channel (TLC) was about learning?
• …Home Box Office (HBO) was about movies?
• …Cartoon Network was about cartoons?
• …Game Show Network (GSN) was about game shows?
• …Biography was about biographies?
• …G4 was about video games and technology?

All these channel once has a niche.  Now, they all, in a way, have strayed from their original purpose?  Who knew “57 Channels (And Nothin’ On)” would morph into “1000 Channels (And Nothin’ On)” 17 years later
