The History Channel decides that it is going to play an Ice Road Trucker marathon tomorrow, ALL day. I find this disgusting. Not one show in the whole 24 hours of June 6, will they not show any thing, HISTORY, about the invasion of fortress Europe.

The reason i am ranting is, on Memorial Day last week, History channel decided it was a good idea to have a Pawn Stars marathon.

Whatever, I mean, June 6th does not mean crap to anyone anymore. Its not like it was one of the most important events in the history of man. Sad really. It really is.

The Military Channel is dedicating most of its line up tomorrow on the invasion. But that is a given.

I am assuming that you are not aware that the History Channel and the Military History Channel are both owned by the same company?

So it is not unusual for the company to have their military orientated channel carry the military stuff and their non-military orientated channel cover other programming.

There may be many things to get spun up over, but this is not one of them. A Sixty-Sixth anniversary is hardly cause to justify coverage on both channels. .
