Who Watches The Military Channel?

[Phalanx]

Hey guys, I just finished watching military aviation programming on the Military channel on digital cable; so this makes me wonder, do you guys watch it too? I only watch it if there's something about jets or helicopters but most of the time I don't watch it unless there's anything good on. I'm just curious

[memnon]

I do from time to time. Mainly because I'm not only a fan of things that fly, but of military history.

[Gaijin]

Sometimes.

I watch it too, I'm a big fan of the dogfighting shows or anything with jets.

I'll watch it if there's something good on. I wish it was still the Discovery Wings Channel though.

The topic description line of this thread concerns me, it seems to imply that some people might think there is something wrong or embarrassing about admitting to watching the military channel?

Why would anybody need to feel ashamed about watching it?

Good point Graham. I just thought that it might be a little dorky because we are learning something which is nerdy(little redundant) but then again some of us including me are nerds. It's also worth noting and admiting that most of my knowledge on airplanes and helicopter come from the information on the shiw. Thanx for pointing that out

[Ishimaru]

I never even heard of a Military channel.

[Isamu Atreides 86]

their World War One show is awesome, as is some of their other stuff.

same here, who offers it, is it new? Is it like a more military focused history channel?

[Axelay]

I love it. I can watch almost any of their shows with fighter planes in them - especially ones about the A-10 and P-51. I tend to see those more often than not.

[Boxer]

Sometimes I'll watch it if something interesting is on. Though the only thing really to catch my eye was the series about russian aircraft development.

Then again I don't watch much TV nowadays anyway *Shrugs*

[Lightning]

used to watch it A LOT back with it was the aviation channel, i just lost interest I guess.

How is the military channel nerdy?

[Phalanx]

I don't know Gaijin. It was just a mistake I made. Like I said, I just thought it was nerdy because we're learning something. A vast majority of the shows on their are educational and informal, but then again there's nothing wrong with learning something new.

[Garou Kuroryuu]

Don't have it in my cable grid. =/

I have to go with History Channel, which it's basically the only channel I watch besides Animax. Love history, specially military history.

[buddhafabio]

I want it but i cannot add a dish to my apratment building. and i am not giving cable company any more money

[Dangaioh]

i do, and i remembered the channel being called Discovery Wings, before being called the Military Channel.

[Loner]

I used to watch it when it was Discovery Wings, now I only watch when they have something on aircraft. I now just watch the Science Channel.

[Lightning]

thank you! that's what it was called! I totally forgot.....silly me.

Do they have much in the way of new stuff or are they simply replaying the same stuff they've replayed on the History Channel over and over back when there was just that (my friend's wife used to say when they first were promoting the split that, "Finally! They realize history isn't just about wars!").

I don't have cable in the moment. Can't really justify the cost for it when you consider I'd probaly watch maybe two or three hours of it a week. But if I HAD cable and had time (and there was new stuff), I'd watch it. Although you're often getting 'dumbed down' info for the television audience, it's still nice to see footage of things, both old and new. You could probably set up a 24/7 carrier operations channel and I'd tune in from time to time.... and wouldn't be ashamed to admit it.
