On Feb. 29, H2 becomes Viceland, a 24-hour lifestyle channel aimed at millennials. According to filmmaker and creative director of the new channel Spike Jones, “It feels like most channels are just a collection of shows. We wanted Viceland to be different, to feel like everything on there has a reason to exist and a strong point of view. [The shows on Viceland are] all unscripted shows, made by filmmakers. We’re trying to make a channel that’s personal, that feels like a group of people trying to understand the world we live in.”

I hate Viceland and it has absolutely nothing I am interested in watching while H2 had a ton of stuff we watched all the time. This was a ridiculous change to make, and the powers that be must have their heads where the sun don’t shine.
Viceland is full of comple sh*t,
I can’t believe how awful the shows are, h2 had good, educational and fun programs,
Who ever thought viceland would be a good idea must be completely mentally retarded.
Vice land is trash, bring back H2.
This station freaking blows. And I really did give it a chance. I watched 5 min and couldn’t do it any longer. Those are 5 mind that aenetworks took from me. Please bring back h2 and do it no . This shit is stupid as hell and no one needs to be watching it. Aren’t we dumb enough?!
I want h2 back
I feel the same as all the other posts here. H2 was my go to channel a majority of the time. Sad. I hope someone comes to their senses before you lose your audience.
I want H2 back…trash Viceland
Viceland Blows Big-Time
I want H2 back !!☹
Who thought this was a good idea? I’m not sure how to get it started but I would love to get ” Viceland” removed and H2 returned ASAP!!
Now that I’ve seen it it is a bunch of crap. We can see Gay TV on every network already. Direct TV may be losing a long time customer that spent a lot of money on TV unlike the brain dead, computer gaming kids who never will they are trying to attract.
Those who don’t learn from history are destined to repeat it.
isn’t keeping up with the Kardachians and other fluff fare clogging the airwaves enough for the milenials?????? Karcashian is also taking over other channels with Koctail with Kloe on FYI isn’t that enough?????????
With grandkids in the house, Viceland is banned. If H2 isn’t brought back quick, will also be canceling my subscription and soon. Was A loyal 10 year subscriber.
This feels like a station that a old man thought young adults wold want to watch. Ya, we allll have such a interest in marijuana and gay people.
This is horrible line up is making my blood boil, especially when original history channel fills it’s slots with pawn stars. I have zero actual history shows to watch now…..thanks
Bring back H2! Vice programming sucks and is and insult to tv viewers!
There aren’t words to describe the level of disgust I have for the change of H2 to whatever it is supposed to be now. SHAME ON YOU. CHANGE IT BACK.
I am sorry this is a poor choice of air time. Create a new channel for an experiment like this, not a proven hit channel. Bring Back H2
Nobody cares. bring back H2 and maybe you can save some of your viewership. We are leaving in droves.
I will never watch this crap. Why would you screw with H2. My god you all must be a bunch of assholes. I’ve never seen so much CRAP on one station in my life. You have lost three loyal watchers in this house. At this rate I’m thinking of just ripping out the cable and using my netflixs. See ya you stupid asses!
Where is the petition to bring back H2 I will sign it asap
Me too.
Me three.
