H2 becomes Viceland Feb. 29

On Feb. 29, H2 becomes Viceland, a 24-hour lifestyle channel aimed at millennials. According to filmmaker and creative director of the new channel Spike Jones, “It feels like most channels are just a collection of shows. We wanted Viceland to be different, to feel like everything on there has a reason to exist and a strong point of view. [The shows on Viceland are] all unscripted shows, made by filmmakers. We’re trying to make a channel that’s personal, that feels like a group of people trying to understand the world we live in.”

  1. Well, just one more channel on tv that has joined the group ( enlarges everyday) that has become worthless. Really? It’s too bad; while History2 was an improvement over the then History Channel that sold out to History for Dummies with programming like Pawn Stars, the new channel Viceland is beyond ridiculous. Another reason to watch PBS programming only. So sorry History2 lost it’s way.

  2. I find it hard to believe that you would think vice channel wouldn’t piss off a lot of people who rioted the great programming in H2. What kind of moron do you have in charge that thought this was a good idea? Nothing about this channel is ok NOTHING!!!!

  3. H2 was one of the few channels I liked a lot. This Vice garbage is another reason cable will eventually be absolete trying to push liberal crap on people who don’t want any part of it

  4. Get rid of the Vice channel. Bring back H2. I got an error message early trying to post. I think you all have heard enough about crappy picks of channels

  5. H2 is a waste of air space. Hey dish do you think we the customers are getting our money’s worth. Uh let me answer that. NO. Bring back H2. And while you at it give us a refund for having us having to put up with the crappy Vice channel
