Programming and ownership
Programs cover a wide array of periods and topics, while similar topics are often organized into themed weeks or daily marathons. Subjects include military history (especially World War II), medieval history, the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, modern engineering, and historical biographies. Many programs compare contemporary culture and technology with the past, while some programs have a more esoteric focus such as conspiracy theory or religious interpretation.
Launched in January, 1995, the channel is owned by A&E Television Networks and operates, in various forms, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Latin America. The network is also currently available in India under a deal between STAR TV and AETN International. Interestingly, the channel has consistently produced prime time ratings in the U.S. comparable to or higher than the A&E Network itself. The channel is not to be confused with a similar, independently-owned, Canadian service, History Television. Indeed, the phrase "Not available in Canada" became a de facto slogan for the channel in its early years, as a result of its use in promotional ads, at least those aired on A&E (which is available in Canada).
The History Channel received the derisory nickname, the "Hitler Channel", for its extensive coverage of World War II, though much military-themed programming has now been shifted to its sister network, the Military History Channel. As might be expected of a U.S.-based network, the History Channel devotes most of its coverage to American and Western history. The network also emphasizes the history of relatively recent times, as opposed to ancient or medieval eras. The History Channel maintains a non-profit fund called Save Our History, dedicated to the preservation of history and historical sites and artifacts, similar in spirit but not to be confused with the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
