Watching an episode of the A&E Horatio Hornblower series on the Roku Channel. The show was first aired in 1999 and the series is decently done.
Why did A&E abandon such programming?

I really enjoyed that series.
Abandoned because of cost (like “Rome”)?

I dunno.
The Lost Battalion was another well-done movie on A&E at about that same time.
Historical dramas would seem to be programming that would wear well and be put back into the line-up periodically, thus spreading out the cost...
