OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
Explanation: For the young'uns here, the History Channel used to air shows about history. Yes, really!
But after midnight, the more obscure and bizarre programming that lacked mainstream appeal came on - like going into little-known technological prototypes, what-ifs, and fringe (or, as time wore on, outright lunatic) historical theories.
It used to only show history shows late at night too (mostly WWII, if I remember right). The fringe stuff started getting added in the early aughts.
The History Channel evolved over time. You seem to remember the 2nd stage.
Nobody nothing?
Needs more pyramids
FTFY
You sure about that? There should be way more nazis on it to be accurate.
And nowadays you get pseudo archeology "The Knights Templar hid all their treasure on this Canadian island!" type stuff.
I swear, the curse of oak island people could find a buried smart phone on the island and almost immediately they'd say that the knights templar must have had working cell phones back in medieval times and clearly called up the natives of the area to clear them taking their modern warship ( think now, not medieval modern ) over to bury it.
