History is an international satellite and cable TV channel that broadcasts historical programs, both fictional and non-fictional. The TV channel is available in many countries. It is seen by more than 80 million households.

Because it shows a lot of programs on World War II, it has been jokingly called "The Hitler Channel".^[1] It also broadcast programs that try to foretell the future. The History Channel was started by A&E Television Networks on January 1, 1995.^[2] A&E Television Networks is a joint-venture between: ^[3]

Hearst Corporation;
Disney-ABC Television Group (the Walt Disney Company); and
NBC Universal (General Electric).

On March 20, 2008, The History Channel dropped "The" and "Channel" from its name to become simply "History".^[4]
