CanWest, Alliance Atlantic, History Television

I keep reading in the business press that CanWest is about to blow its bank account to buy Alliance Atlantis, which is a corporate jewel worth gazillions because of its speciality channels ... such as, they always report, "Showcase and History Television."

Shouldn't someone be providing a reality check here? That is, adding the obvious fact that History Television is the most crapulous network on television. It started as crap, it's always been crap. And being purchased by the crapmeisters at CanWest, it seems certain to be crap forever. Doesn't this need to be said? Shouldn't it be a factor in the negotiation?
