Before the alien show, I remember it being colloquially known as “The Hitler Channel” because it was non-stop WW2 documentaries. As if no other history existed.
That was The History Channel, which mostly existed to monetize old documentaries and whose producers quickly realized WW2 was the most watched material.
TLC was a non profit distance learning initiative set up in 1972 by the Appalachian Regional Commission in partnership with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and NASA. It was privatized in '86, first by the Financial News Network’s $3M takeover bid and then by The Discovery Channel five years later. This second sale set of a period of reorganizing around Reality TV that would become it’s Hallmark in the '00s
