You have to remember that at the end of the day The history channel is a business, just like any other. If programmes on Nazis and Romans sell to their target audience over those of Pre-civilised Africa then I don't see the problem.
I agree 100%, the history channel isn't exactly brilliant in the variety of it's content and I often find that reading offers me more scope. but I suppose Joe sixpack would rather just be entertained with popular history than abstract niche history.
