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. Only people with small brains and very low IQ’s would watch programming like Viceland. H2 was, and will always be one of my favorite programs. Bring H2 back.

  2. This fucking shit sucks! Saying this is for the millennials don’t even watch TV, they stream all there shows on the internet. If you want to have a channel like this then do it. But there’s no fucking reason to take away a good channel, with good programs. Viceland you guys suck!!! Bring H2 BACK!

    • I want ancient aliens….!!! Best show on either history channel shows on history one and previously known as history channel two… They will loose lots of viewer ship that will lead to less add revenue etc… If you can’t see ancient aliens and u.f.o hunters. No other networks have any shows like those and those were there two best shows and only shows no other networks have anything close to. Bring them back ASAP.

  3. I HATE Viceland. I Hate it even more is that it replaces the good old H2 channel which is the only reason why I pay for cable. The commercial lied. It tried to say Ancient Aliens will still be on History Channel, but that is not true at all. With this stupid business move, I will cancel cable completely. I hope A&E will wake up and Bring back H2 or go out of business.

  4. I practically only watched H2. This viceland sucks “balls deep”. SPIKE JONES IS AN IDIOT!

  5. The Millenials don’t watch cable so what is the point? Anyone who knows that H2 runs shows over and over find that is part of the appeal. Hope Spike didn’t have to pay Discovery an arm and leg for it. Another blunder. Thanks!

  6. I want h2 back. You Douche bags added that crap of a channel vice over h2 . Get the hell out of here with that shit. Loosing another paying customer for this stupid change.

  7. This is the worst possible change to my cable viewing! H2 was the best channel on needs to return! Otherwise, I don’t see the need to purchase the upgraded package through Charter. Bring back H2!!!!

  8. Viceland sucks!! I want H2 back. It was my favorite channel. Time to start shopping for another provider.

  9. I can’t even find ancient aliens on history at all. Not even listed now. H2 was the only reason I got direct TV back, then BAM, changed it. Not even a kiss on the lips. Bring it back. I’m canceling until you do.

  10. Nice move Dish. What were you thinking? I assume you could not leave a good channel line up alone so you changed it to trash. Why not put this gay channel on one of those stupid music channels that we are forced to pay for. Bring H2 back or you will lose customers and I will be one of them.

  11. I’ve tried it and well, Viceland just doesn’t fly. What a bunch of weird BS! Couldn’t they have found another space for this dribble on say A&E channel itself? I mean does anyone watch that channel anymore? Bring back H2!

  12. This is a bunch of bull. I loved my H2 and now you put this crap on.
    I will have to find a new channel to watch. This was my favorite channel.
    Very pissed off and will complain to whom ever will listen.

  13. So you get customers to purchase specific packages that include H2 and then you swap it out when you feel like forcing your propaganda on us and the customer is now stuck paying extra money but doesn’t have access to H2 anymore but we better pay our bill on time because Yessir Master says so….smh
