obscure cable channels you watch

S

I didn't know where else to ask this. What obscure cable channels do you watch?
Some of what I watch regularly:
Aspire: Julia
INSP: Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Bonanza's lost episodes
Up: Heartland and some of Up's TV movies
WHT: The Lone Ranger
I don't know if Ion is considered an obscure channel, but I am watching Saving Hope on it.
The Waltons is being shown by Hallmark, INSP and Up, and I'll watch it on one of those channels if I have a chance.
Last winter I watched The Musketeers on BBC America.
On a related note: I couldn't find much information at first about the Paris attacks on the American cable news channels. I ended up watching BBC World News and Al-Jazeera for a little bit on Friday evening.
I also watch some of the current series on the original over-the-air channels. If I miss them when they actually air, Time Warner has an offering called Prime Time on Demand that allows me to watch the show later.
 
I get Heartland from CBC's Vancouver affiliate on channel 99 all over Comcrap's Western Washington cable package. Also got Hockey Night in Canada (until recent) and the pretty funny Rick Mercer Report. Not really a cable channel per-se, but considering the usable OTA signal peters out some 60 miles north of downtown Seattle, it's not really an OTA network here. Considering Comcrap's W. WA territory goes down near Portland, it makes it even less so.

Also can't forget my favorite TV shows on INSP: JAG and Matlock...

When I've knocked back a few glasses of cheap wine, I'll tune into ID and catch a whodunnit of some type. It's usually the only programming my girlfriend and I agree on!

Others...

News: NHK World (favorite! Excellent English news!), BBC News, France 24, RT (don't agree with half their stuff, but it's interesting), CNC World (ditto)
Docs/Factual: American Heroes Channel, H2 for the historical stuff (H2 will be a goner soon...replaced with more boring reality-based stuff from Vice)

Even though I'm solidly in 'Generation Y', I am told by both my girlfriend and buddies that I watch "old people TV". These are the same folks who think a good show is the Kardashians or Catfish!, so their opinion is instantly useless to me...
