The programming will edge away from being nearly exclusively focused on military-themed documentaries and instead embrace heroes from all walks of life.

The Military Channel is getting a facelift. On March 3rd, the Discovery-owned network currently in 62 million homes will be rebranded as the American Heroes Channel (AHC).

The American Heroes Channel does stick close to its military roots for its first original documentary series, “Against the Odds” — which follows the Marines at Hue in 1968 and Tarawa in 1943.
