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.”

I believe this new lineup on Viceland is not appropriate for the general public. Please bring back H2. I hate the new channel.
They should have partnered up with the Logo channel.This POP craps sucks.
Final, I agree with the sentiment of everyone here.Give us our programing back
Ugh…hating this new vice channel! One reason I kept paying for Direct TV was because of H2. Bring H2 back! Please!!!!
Fuck this channel and everyone who likes it. And fuck anyone who resembles anyone who likes it. This is possibly the dumbest thing any network has ever done. I well be calling dish network to complain to them directly.
Please bring H2 back. The intellectual value of H2 far exceeds the useless programming of viceland.
I am so profoundly disappointed H2, a channel I loved, has been replaced by this new Viceland. There is not one show I care to watch on it.
If there is a petition out there to bring H2 back, I’ll gladly sign it. I miss my H2!
Go Back to the old programing, The new shows aren’t any go. Forget Viceland I wont watch any of it.
I agree. Please bring back H2!! I watched that channel every night. I hate this new Viceland and won’t watch any of it.
I want my H2 back damit
Judging by all the posts on this site, some genius at the top made a really popular move. Not only was one of the best channels on TV removed, but it was replaced with one of the worst. And there are so many other bad channels that could have been replaced instead! Wow, three mistakes in one; nice work idiot. And I can’t find any of the shows I loved from H2 on History channel either.
I completely agree!
This channel is HUGE disapointing departure from H2. I don’t like ANY of the shows and don’t understand the demographic it is trying to reach. I need my H2 shows please.
I cannot find my favorite H2 Shows! They are all gone. I would watch H2 everyday, now it’s horrible programming of random weird stuff. I don’t get it. There’s plenty of viceland type stuff on the public broadcasting channel.
Viceland is nothing and it’s pointless. What demographic is viceland serving? Stoners? Or People who hate everything about TV? I really don’t like Viceland. I want my H2 geek shows back please.
This Vice Land is a loser! No wonder my husband watches Netflix! Someone made a BIG mistake and your ratings will tell you this. What a disaster. Please bring back H2, there is absolutely nothing of value in this new programming . . . it’s disgusting . . . . if not, well that’s a no-brainer . . . . I’ll just leave DISH . . . .
I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT…..>>>> I JUST HATE VICE LAND. It offers nothing of value to the watcher, just bring back H2. Listen to us A&E we are leaving in droves to Amazon, Hulu and Netflix, bring back H2 and shows like it and stay away from the Vice Land concept.
LETS VOTE THE PRODUCERS IDIOTS OF THEE YEAR! THE VICELAND WILL RUIN WHAT PEOPLE ENJOYED. YOU WANT NEW DEMOGRAPHICS, YOU DONT COMPLETELY WIPE OUT YOUR SUCCESSFUL CLIENT BASE TO MAKE A FRESH START. WHAT EVER HEAD EDX. MADE THIS DECISION, YOU SHOULD BE FIRED. WE LOVED H2 AND YOU RUINED IT WITH YOUR POOR DECISIONS.
MANY WILL CANCEL IF H2 IS NOT RETURNED NOW!!!!!!!!!
WHAT STUPID EDIOT WOULD WATCH THIS SHIT YOU CHANGED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I hate this new channel Viceland! It’s absolute horrible!! We want our History channel back or might see about going to another cable company. We spend good money for these channels and I’m very displeased with this!!!!!!!!
I strongly abhor Viceland. Please restore H 2.
I really can’t in the world why would they change the wouderful programming that was previously in place because what’s the program line that is in place currently in place “SUCKS” and is totally non educational in my opinion compared to what was there! PLEASE,PLEASE BRING BACK THE H2 CHANNEL!!!!!
H2– please return that programming; for the generations that like these shows, the history and the learning aspect. If milennials need their ‘own’ channel, create it elsewhere, us regular subscribers/TV watchers want what we pay for…..shows that meet OUR needs.
