History TV18 is the Indian version of History. It was launched in 2003[1] as The History Channel (now Star Life) under the ownership of Star, in a partnership with National Geographic. The History Channel rebranded to Fox History & Entertainment in 2008 and gradually turned into a lifestyle channel. History returned to Indian television on 9 October 2011[2] as History TV18, owned by AETN18 Network, a joint venture between A&E Networks and TV18. Later, in 2016, AETN18 launched FYI TV18.
History TV18’s competitors are Discovery, National Geographic, Sony BBC Earth, Animal Planet and Nat Geo Wild.
