frankgrimes_sr from Reddit pointed out the anomaly after realizing that on this years Martin Luther King Jr. Day, History Channel chose to air an American Pickers marathon instead of honoring one of the most prominent figures in American History. In fact, the network, apparently, isnt airing a second of programming about him. Considering that his post could attract negative comments, the user preemptively addressed potential backlash by adding: Whoa, I just wanted to get stoned on my day off and watch an interesting documentary and thought HC was an easy place to look, clearly its not. Also I know Im just a triggered-sjw-snowflake-cuck but some of you are super racist, holy s***.

republicans showing their true colors once again

History channel changed their format YEARS ago. Where have you been, dude? Everything is Ancient Aliens and stupid shit like that now. They're going for ratings.

That's what they show all day every day. I can't imagine being so entitled that you would expect them to have some special thing. History channel hasn't been about history for a long long time.

This.

History Channel should've been taken out back and shot years ago, it's turned to garbage.

Network decay is pretty much all cable can do now.

A&E is essentially just Hoarders, Parking Wars, and other cheap reality TV
BBCA is mostly just Star Trek TNG reruns, for some reason
Cartoon Networks is almost entirely Teen Titans Go

etc., etc.

Damn, A&E...

Serious question, but do any of you actually even celebrate it? For real, how many of us even know what date MLK day is?

Seems like outrage for the sake of outrage.

what does this have to do with the History channel?


Wow.

The point, which spectacularly went over your head, is should we really consider it racist that they aren't playing MLK specific programming when a vast majority of the country sees it as just another excuse for the post office to be closed? I have never once been told or heard "Happy MLK day!" or seen people celebrating it. I would bet your average American couldn't tell you what date it is was my point, so outrage for the sake of outrage.

no, the point which went spectacularly over YOUR head, is why the fuck are you pretending like we should hold every random Joe and Jane on the street to the same standard as the literal History channel?


Wow.

Networks play programming people watch and has done well in the past. More people will tune in for Pickers reruns than a documentary on MLK. Bigger numbers = more revenue. Literally no reason to dedicate an entire day to MLK programs that a fraction of the population will watch, none at all.

How...how does that escape you? Economics 101 bruh. Big demographic >>>> small demographic. Numbers and statistics are hard yo
