I don't actually watch the "channel", but The Expanse is produced by SyFy and is excellent.

And, yeah, Duck Dynasty and Cake Boss are nowhere near where A&E and TLC were when they launched, but they are family-centered sitcoms, more or less, in a time with a lack of those.

I won't defend Honey Boo Boo or that sort of thing, though.

Anyway, Disney is now the company of Star Wars and Marvel, not just Mickey and princesses. If companies want to take a risk and change their brand, I guess it's their right. There's tons of content out there if we don't like it.
