In my experience this channel mirrors the US media's attitude to news:

a) an excessive effort to be fair and balanced
b) a he said/ she said fomented controversy/conspiracy approach
c) a puerile Boy's Own choice of subject matter:
08:00 Mega disasters
09:.00 Ice Road Truckers
10:00 Tunnellers
11:00 Ax Men

I don't see this approach as likely to help someone like Alan who 
finds filtering information so challenging.

(BBC Knowledge is a lot more rigorous.)
