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.”

Though it looks like I’m alone in this, I was very excited to hear vice was getting their own channel. The moment I heard I looked up to see if I get this channel and was so disappointed to see I did no’t. My husband and I enjoy vice on HBO and felt they would do a great job with an entire channel. I’m not saying we would like everything but there were quite a few shows that peeked my interest. And for the record we are no Trump supporters!

Horrid, horrible channel. H2 was something that was educational and safe for my family and children to watch. I have seen NOTHING on this channel that is remotely educational, and CERTAINLY NOT family /kid friendly. We will NOT be watching, and will be advising our home school group NOT to watch either
I disagree with this guy: “Vice’s takeover of the H2 channel is a win for TV in America.” http://qz.com/397499/h2-historys-abomination-of-a-spinoff-channel-will-be-replaced-by-vice/
I agree with this guy: “It’s hard to escape Viceland’s narrowness, as if the local university’s anthropology department had commandeered its own commercial cable channel.” http://variety.com/2016/tv/columns/viceland-review-weediquette-gaycation-balls-deep-noisey-flophouse-ellen-page-1201712259/
Bring back H2 to Cablevision!!! This Viceland is totally CRAP!!!
Get rid of Viceland it’s garbage. Bring back H2
H2 was one of the best channels on dish this Viceland channel is pure garbage. Just another reason to get rid of Dish
A & E Networks YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really think they give a S$%^^&*(???
This is absolute garbage! If you want to peddle this crap, put it on pay per view!! This was a dumb-ass decision. The viewers deserve better than this.
I will never watch Viceland! Total crap !H2 was one of my favorite channels. Bring back H2!
Absolute bullshit. H2 was one of my favorite channels and now they replace it with some cake ass liberal station.
I’m going to miss H2. It was one of my favorite channels. I have no interest in the shows that I have read about for Viceland. I hate to see H2 go away.
I can not believe you are replacing a wonderful educational history channel with this sick crap. What’s next I guess your going to go to the polls and vote for that idiot Trump. I guess you have money to burn because the cable and satellite networks are going to loose not only money but big time customers !!
WTF IS THIS KRAP!!!! H2 was one of the 10 channels I only watched on cable. You replace interesting history shows with “balls deep” and “f*ck that’s delicious”. I am locking this out of my channel guide to boycott this garbage! Millennials are staring at there phones in there parents basement, they don’t pay the cable bill you idiots!
After watching the titles go by……………………I feel like I need a shower…….a long shower. If this is what young folks want to watch we are
most absolutely screwed!!!
What a colossal f*ckup this was! If this is the kind of sh*t that millennials are interested in watching, then God help us when that generation takes over running the country! I will never watch this stupid assed channel.
What is this crap? Who made this stupid decision? Balls Deep, really? You are so cool! S.M.H. Bring back H2!!!!
Something else, (I’m very put-off) what room full of idiots made this moronic decision? Oh,I know the people you feature on viceland!Now, maybe I’m done .
What the f@$& is this sh%=???I pay for H2. Shove your piece of vice up it.
How can they??? their head is up there already. And this is a channel from A & E ???
Won’t be watching that either.
H2 was one of the channels we went to when nothing else was on any other channel. Interesting and educational. I will guaran-damn-tee I will NEVER watch the trash on viceland. Good luck Spike. You’re gonna need it.
What is this trash? I am done paying for crap like this. There always was precious little available to justify the 80 a month but now even less. I am cancelling my cable subscription this week.
Alternative lifestyle television replacing one of the few passable channels is too much
