A&E Networks did it, nothing to do with Cox.

Read those, they should answer your questions.

H2 was replaced by an "Urban/Liberal" tv program channel as deemed fit by H2's parent A&E channel for what reason, who knows, especially once you see and/or watch the shows on it. 

The channel is called VICEH.  No clue what happened to NATGEO, it's still off-the-air...

A&E could have left H2 in-place and put this so-called VICEH on as well...  I don't get the logic.  The History Channel, as it's called is a far cry from delivering programming described by it's name, IMO.

I'm a history, travel, nature buff and the state of today's TV programming is a sham and shame for all of these.

Sorry for the ramblings, just my .02 cents here...
