History

History was first launched as The History Channel on 30 November 2003.[2] 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 Fox Life and is currently available in India as Star Life.

On 9 October 2011, The History Channel was re-launched in India as History TV18, by a joint venture between A&E Networks and Network18 Group.[3]
