History is a factual and reality based entertainment channel operated by A+E Networks (a joint venture between Sky and Hearst Corporation) home to historical infused programs like Mountain Men, Missing In Alaska, American Pickers and Pawn Stars.
As of June 2022, the channel will be the remaining survivor from A+E Networks across Africa as Lifetime will phased out not only in Africa like the former brand Crime + Investigation but the whole of Europe likely in an attempt to streamline.
A+E Networks has been a little disorganised with their channels often providing upcoming attractions with different dates or ghosting a brand before its demise I mean with the many owners this was to be expected.
Could History be off its meds?
Just like Lifetime, even History hasn't updated their look following its rollout in December 2021 and with them being owned by the mouse brand in most markets I mean the idea of History being phased or possibly auctioned doesn't seem far fetched.
The Walt Disney Company will be closing 100 international channels in the near future with most in Europe and Africa. The media has highlighted several major brands but we've seen a brand like Baby TV get scrapped. Could Lifetime, History and C+I also form those 100 channels?
What if The Walt Disney Company's plan is to stop offering linear stations in general you know the Netflix approach as they're giving them a run for their money and A+E Networks is mixed up in it all.
They don't manage the channels in Europe which opens up the door of possibility for History. Unlike Lifetime, the brand is still active in the UK as Sky History perhaps that could be the future for the channel across Europe.
Just like SuperSport's WWE Channel, Sky is in charge of content selection and the airtime meaning they could just supplement another brand should it be phased out unless that possibility is out the door like Lifetime.
