New Marketing Plan for the Company Formerly Known as the Learning Channel (TLC)

[Mario500]

The Hollywood Reporter has an article about TLC's plan to promote the new meaning of their initials.

I guess they got tired of people comparing the channel to a Total Load of Crap!

It is a still a far cry from when it was the "Appalachian Community Service Network."

A far cry maybe, but not necessarily in a better direction.

The network is garbage, IMO.

2 good shows on TLC - reruns of Undercover Boss and Cake Boss and its spin-offs. They took off my favorite show after just one season. Mall Cops a look at the Mall Cops at the Mall of America in Minnesota.

P.S. TLC isn't their own company. They're owned by Discovery Communications.

Bring back A Dating Story and A Wedding Story. Especially the former.

Discovery has turned to crap, too. Along with A&E, Bravo, even The Weather Channel. Heck, even public television.

Even the religious channels.

Why did they call it "Appalachian Community Service Network" in the 70s? Was it only to serve the Appalachian Mountain regions (KY/TN/GA/etc) with educational programming?
