History Channel is in hot water after fans discovered the network chose to broadcast reruns of American Pickers instead of any Martin Luther King, Jr.-related content during the widely celebrated MLK Day holiday.
Since History had something related to MLK on their website, people understandably thought they had something in line with their programming.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. frankgrimes_sr from Reddit pointed out the anomaly after realizing that on this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, History Channel chose to air an American Pickers marathon instead of “honoring one of the most prominent figures in American History.”
The reality TV series, which debuted in 2010, follows the lives of antique and collectible collectors as they travel the country in the hopes of possibly getting the best and rarest finds.
