Oh it definitely has some "non-family friendly" television. I've caught some of it. Some of the movies and even some shows are a little too adult for younger children to see
Some? I'd say the non family-friendly shows are the norm, rather than the exception. Aside from "Full House," I honestly can't think of one show I'd let little kids watch.
ABC Family is a pretty putrid channel.  I wouldn't let kids watch either.  Remember  "It's a new kinda family"  The new age of family where everything is excepted.  Regardless of how morally wrong it is. :hammer:
Its sad and sickening

Kid shows, family orientated stuff doesn't sell anymore.

The original name was actually CBN Cable channel, before "Family" was added to the name in the late 1980's. Family Channel debuted around 1990.

Just look at TWC and how they have spread out to cover more topics of "interest".

Yeah, the Weather Channel may be next for a name change... I can see something like "WC" or "Wx" coming in the future.

I have a feeling it's quite possible. I feel that they use "Wx" too much lately.
