So this miniseries about the Kennedy's, commissioned in part by the History Channel in the US, won't be airing on their network because,

The History Channel released a statement Friday stating it found the finished product a “dramatic interpretation” and thus “not a fit for the History brand.”

The U.S. History Channel announced last Friday that it would not air The Kennedys, which it commissioned in partnership with Canadian specialty channel History Television, owned by Shaw Television (formerly CanWest). History Television has confirmed that it plans to go ahead and air the eight-part miniseries in Canada beginning March 6. The show was shot in Toronto...

Cassar thinks friends of the Kennedy family likely lobbied the parent companies that own U.S. History, including Disney, Hearst and NBC Universal, to pull the project.

A red flag apparently went up in the Kennedy camp when an early draft of the script focused on sexual misadventures in the White House.
