This TV is just a joke now. I hope that WDIV doesn't renew their contract with This and replaces it with Rewind TV

He is dumping a bunch of his third rate garbage programming onto the network, sadly.

So, yes, the changes are permanent.
He fucked up the Weather Channel even more, so this isn’t a surprise at all.

Nearly everything coming out of those studios is simply awful nonsense to fill time on his cable channels for which he gets $.37 per subscriber -- for all of them!

However, some of the cooking and travel productions are good because they're contracted out to small outfits. Decent writing and research with low production elements makes for a good relaxed viewing that are a refreshing change. I wouldn't mind if he brought those to his subchannels. The crap on PetsTV? Yeah, screw that low effort.

They still show great B movies. This week there's Double Dragon, Lethal Virus and The Wraith with Charlie Sheen. Out of the Furnace with Christian Bale and Casey Affleck was a more recent movie that received good reviews.
