Programming and ownership

The channel is owned by A&E Television Networks and operates, in various forms, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Spain 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" was commonly heard during the earliest promotional ads for The History Channel, at least those aired on A&E (which is available in Canada), becoming a de facto slogan.

The History Channel also 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.
