Forum: television Subject: TV networks, channels and stations whose name is a lie
Cartoon Network - Actually a channel not a network
Channel America - This defunct broadcaster was actually a network not a channel
A&E - No arts and very little entertainment
MTV - No music!

Any others?

In the US we have a SyFy Channel that shows mostly dramas and eck. Right now a drug gang movie is on. Later a war movie and Django Unchained. The closest it comes to Science Fiction is the Twilight Zone.
The Learning Channel "TLC" seems to be teaching bad manners and poor social skills.

Unfortunately we have TLC here in Australia as well. But years before that, back when it was actually a learning channel, a lot of its shows were shown in Australia on the History Channel, which used to be great but now shows a lot of pseudo-science crap.
