History(stylized inall caps), formerly and commonly known as theHistory Channel,is an Americanpay televisionnetworkandflagship channelowned byA&E Networks,ajoint venturebetweenHearst CommunicationsandThe Walt Disney Company's General Entertainment Content Division.

The network was originally focused on history-based, social/science documentaries as well as the news. During the late 2000s, the History Channel pivoted intoreality televisionprogramming. In addition to this change in format, the network has been criticized by many scientists, historians, and skeptics for broadcastingpseudo-documentariesandpseudoscientific,unsubstantiated, sensational investigative programming.

As of November 2023,History is available to approximately 63,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2011 peak of 99,000,000 households.[2]International localized versions of the History Channel are available, in various forms, in India, Canada, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

History[edit]

20th century[edit]

The History Channel's original logo used from January 1, 1995, to February 15, 2008. In the station's early years, the red background was not there, and later it sometimes appeared blue (in documentaries), light green (in biographies), purple (in sitcoms), yellow (in reality shows), or orange (in short form content) instead of red.

The company indicated that plans for a history channel were in the works in 1993, it purchased the Lou Reda Productions documentary library and long-term rights for the Hearst Entertainment documentaries archive. The History Channel was launched on January 1, 1995, initially owned by A&E Television Networks. With its UK counterpart, a partnership withBritish Sky Broadcasting,following on November 1, 1995.[3]Its original format focused entirely on historical series andspecials.

During the 1990s, the History Channel was jokingly referred to as "TheHitlerChannel "for its extensive coverage ofWorld War II.[4]Since then, much of its military-themed programming has been shifted to its sister networkMilitary History.

A&E Networks considered the History Channel to be the driver in international expansion due to a lack of international rights to A&E international co-productions. As expected, the History Channel led A&E's overseas expansion in Brazil with TVA (April 1996), the Nordic and Baltic regions with Modern Times Group (1997), and in Canada (1997).[3]

The History Channel expanded in 1998 into tours of US landmarks with Mayflower Tours having an affiliated website (historytravel ),History Channel Traveler,and a planned quarterly magazine. While in October, the History Channel andMSG Networkteamed up to produce several short-form sports history programs. A&E launchedHistory Internationalas a spin-off from the History Channel in November 1998.[3]

21st century[edit]

History's logo used from February 16, 2008, to May 31, 2015: The second logo does not have the triangle on the side of the H.
History's third logo used from June 1, 2015, to December 6, 2021

On February 16, 2008, a new logo was launched on the U.S. network as part of a rebranding effort. While the trademark "H" was kept, the triangle shape on the left acts as a play button for animation and flyouts during commercials and shows. On March 20, 2008, as part of that same rebranding effort, the History Channel dropped "The" and "Channel" from its name to become simply "History".[5]

In 2012, half of A&E would be purchased byThe Walt Disney Companyand the other half byHearst Communications,also putting History under their joint ownership.[6]

In 2015, the channel would undergo another rebranding, this time by Joseph Kiely. The slogan of this rebranding was "Make Your Mark". The logo was slightly changed, but retained the golden letter 'H' that had become synonymous with the channel.[7]

The "History 100" documentary initiative was announced in March 2018 that would produce 100 documentaries covering major events and notable figures from last 100 years.[8]

On December 7, 2021, History received a major rebrand for the first time since February 16, 2008. The logo still kept the golden letter 'H' that had been used since its launch in 1995.

Programming[edit]

Main article:List of programs broadcast by the History Channel

Programming on the History Channel has covered a wide range ofhistorical periodsand topics, while similar themed topics are often organized into themed weeks or daily marathons. Subjects includewarfare,inventions,aviation,mechanicalandcivil engineering,technology,science,nature,artists,composers,authors,mythical creatures,monsters,unidentified flying objects,conspiracy theories,aliens,religious beliefs,disasterscenarios,apocalyptic"after man" scenarios,survivalscenarios,alternate history,dinosaurs,doomsday,organized crime,secret societies,and2012superstitions. Occasionally, some programs compare contemporary culture and technology with that of the past.[9]

The channel's programming would expand into scripted dramas with the premiereVikingsin 2013.[10]

Criticism and evaluations[edit]

Initially, the network received mixed reviews. In an article from the American Historical Association released about a year into the channel's lifespan, the channel's historical consultant Libby Haight O' Connell noted that professional historians have been enlisted to work on the channel's programs and many letters have come in from viewers both pointing out historical errors and opening up discussion with the channel creators about the events portrayed in the channel's programs.[11]

However, in recent years the network has been criticized for having a bias towardsUS history.Another former sister network,History International,more extensively covered history outside the US until 2011, when it was re-branded asH2and started broadcasting more material that had to do with US history.[12]

Stanley Kutner criticized the network for the seriesThe Men Who Killed Kennedyin 2003. Kutner was one of three historians commissioned to review the documentary, which the channel disavowed and never aired again.[13]Programs such asModern Marvelshave been praised for their presentation of detailed information in an entertaining format.[14]

Some of the network's series, includingIce Road Truckers,Ax Men,andPawn Stars,garnered increased viewership ratings in the United States, while receiving criticism over the series'nonhistorical nature.US SenatorChuck Grassleyis a critic of the channel and its lack of historical or educational programming, showing particular disdain for the latter two programs.[15]

Professor Jeremy Stoddard, in his article published in 2010, raised the concern that the productions of the network presented value-laden perspectives which may mislead audiences, a phenomenon he termed "the History Channel effect".[16]Stoddard also claimed that the History Channel did not contribute to this phenomenon alone, but rather, it was caused by the misperception thatdocumentariesare "objective sources of history".[16]

In 2011,Forbesstaffer Alex Knapp wrote, "The History Channel shouldn't run stuff like this 'ancient astronaut' nonsense."[17]Forbescontributor Brad Lockwood criticized the channel's addition of "programs devoted to monsters, aliens, and conspiracies", attributing a perceived intent of boosting ratings to the network's decision to focus onpseudoarchaeologyinstead of documented facts.[18]Knapp refers readers to theBad Archaeologywebsite's founder Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews who comments, "I find it incredible and frightening that a worldwide distributed television channel...can broadcast such rubbish asAncient Aliens."[17]ArchaeologistKenneth Feder,author ofFrauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology,[19]called the channel's hosting theancient astronauttheory "execrable bullshit".[20]

In his book2012: It's Not the End of the World,Peter Lemesurier describes the channel'sNostradamusseries, in which he was invited to participate, as "largely fiction" and "lurid nonsense".[21]He also lists numerous allusions made in its films to the alleged Mayan "end of the world" and the "rare" galactic alignment that was supposed byJohn Major Jenkinsto accompany it in2012,[21]while Jenkins himself has describedDecoding the Pastas "45 minutes of unabashed doomsday hype and the worst kind of inanesensationalism."[22]

In December 2011,Politifactgave the History Channel's claim that theUnited States Congressstayed open onChristmas Dayfor most of its first 67 years of existence a "pants on fire" rating, the lowest of its ratings, noting that its own research showed that both theSenateand theHousehad only convened once in those 67 years on a Christmas Day. It noted that because one-in-seven Christmases falls on a Sunday (when Congress does not meet to allow members to attend church), the claim is "ridiculous".[23]The claim had first been broadcast on the History Channel programChristmas Unwrapped – The History of Christmasbefore being subsequently picked up by theAmerican Civil Liberties Union's website on the "Origins of Christmas" and by theComedy CentralseriesThe Daily Show.[23]Daily ShowhostJon Stewartresponded the next day by stating it was their fault for trusting the History Channel and satirized a clip from the History Channel about UFOs and Nazis by stating, "The next thing you know we'll all find out the Nazis did not employ alien technology in their quest for world domination."[24][25]

The History Channel was also singled out in a post forSmithsonianmagazine. Science writer Riley Black took issue with the showAncient Aliensfor postulating the "idea that aliens caused theextinction of non-avian dinosaurs."[26]The online magazineCrackedalso lampooned the channel for its strange definition of history.Crackedsingled out the programsUFO HuntersandAncient Aliensas being the very definition of non-history by presentingpseudoscienceandpseudohistory.[27]In 2015, skepticBrian Dunninglisted it at #2 on a "Top 10 Worst Anti-Science Websites" list.[28]

Amelia Earhart documentary controversy[edit]

Main article:Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence

In 2017, a History Channel documentary,Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence,proposed that a photograph in the National Archives ofJaluit Atollin theMarshall Islandswas actually a picture of a capturedAmelia EarhartandFred Noonan.The picture showed a Caucasian male on a dock who appeared to look like Noonan and a woman sitting on the dock, but facing away from the camera, who was judged to have a physique and haircut resembling Earhart's. The documentary theorizes that the photo was taken after Earhart and Noonan crashed atMili Atoll.The documentary also said that physical evidence recovered from Mili matches pieces that could have fallen off an Electra during a crash or subsequent overland move to a barge.The Lost Evidenceproposed that a Japanese ship seen in the photograph was theKoshu Maru,a Japanese military ship.

The Lost Evidencewas soon discredited after Japanese blogger Kota Yamano found the original source of the photograph in the archives in theNational Diet LibraryDigital Collection.[29]The original source of the photo was a Japanese travel guide published in October 1935, implying that the photograph was taken in 1935 or before, thus it would be unrelated to Earhart and Noonan's 1937 disappearance. Additionally, the researcher who discovered the photo also identified the ship in the right of the photo as another ship calledKoshuseized byAlliedJapanese forces in World War I and not theKoshu Maru.[30]

ResearcherBen Radfordperformed a detailed analysis of the mistakes made byThe History Channelin building their documentary on bad photographic evidence. In hisSkeptical Inquirerarticle "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Emmys: An Amelia Earhart Special (Non) Mystery Post-Mortem," critiquing the network's lack of professionalism, Radford said: "Given that the photograph's provenance was established and thus the key premise of the show discredited in about half an hour of Google searching, it will be interesting to see what world class expertise... the History Channel will bring to their reinvestigation of Earhart's disappearance."[31]On episode 82 of hisSquaring the Strangepodcast, released January 4, 2019, Radford reminded listeners that in excess of 18 months had passed without an apology or explanation from the History Channel as to "how their research went so horribly wrong."[32][33]

Military Historyis a niche spin-off network of History that features reruns of programs about thehistory of the militaryand significant combat events. The channel's main competitor is Warner Bros. Discovery'sAmerican Heroes Channel,formerly the Military Channel.[34]

History[edit]

Military Historywas launched on January 5, 2005 after demand for more military history programs. Beginning on March 27, 2004, a military-history programming block started on now defunct networkHistory Internationalas a prologue. The launch was an open preview, or soft launch, as no cable operators were signed up. Dan Davids, president of the History Channel USA, planned to push for digital basic level cable carriage. Its initial programming library drew from A&E and History's programs. The channel's initial prime time shows were under an umbrella banner of “Battle History”, which consisted of five documentary miniseries featuring each of the US military services. In the second quarter of 2005, the channel had its hard launch.[34]

Like its parent channel, the channel dropped the word "Channel" from its name on March 20, 2008.

Carriage is very limited and often offered in add-on cable/satellite/streaming packages.

History Television launched in 1997 and was not initially related to its then similarly named American counterpart. During History Television's first several years of operation, despite sharing a similar programming focus, it rarely, if ever, acquired programming from the American channel. The phrase "Not available in Canada" was used heavily during The History Channel's early years in promotional ads on American channels that were imported to Canadian pay television providers, particularly A&E.[46]

Beginning in the late 2000s, several History (US) shows were acquired for Canadian broadcast on History Television. On May 30, 2012, then-parent companyShaw Mediaannounced that it would rebrand History Channel as a Canadian version of the US History channel in the fall of 2012, through a licensing agreement with A+E Networks.[47]History Television would be relaunched on August 12, 2012, with another Shaw-owned specialty channel relaunched as aCanadian version of H2soon after.
