History TV18 (formerly known as The History Channel) is a pan-Indian television channel broadcasting programmes related to historical events, infotainment and persons,[1] owned by a joint venture between A+E Networks, owner of the American History channel, and TV18, an Indian JV media group.[2] The channel is in a bouquet of factual entertainment channels to be launched by the joint venture. It is available in eight languages (includingEnglish, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali) in full HD across all major markets in India and will reach out to more than 50 million households in the launch phase.
The History Channel
History was first launched as The History Channel on 30 November 2003.[3] It was launched by a joint venture between AETN International and News Corporation's STAR, through its subsidiary NGC Networks. It had aired series like Boy's Toys, Biography, Conspiracy?, Crusades, Secret Agents and Breaking Vegas and television movies like Marilyn and Me. Following the expiration of the deal between AETN and STAR on 21 November 2008, STAR took over the channel and re-branded it as Fox History & Entertainment. That channel has since been re-branded again as Fox History & Traveller, then Fox Traveller and is currently available in India as Fox Life.
History TV18
On 9 October 2011, The History Channel was re-launched in India as History TV18, by a joint venture between A+E Networks and TV18.[4] An HD feed of the channel, True HD, is also available.

A few current programmes include the following. However, these are not the latest versions of what is shown on the American History channel.
