'''The History Channel''' (official just '''History''' since February 15, 2008; stylized in [[all caps]]), formerly and commonly known as the '''History Channel''', is an American [[pay television]] [[television network|network]] and [[flagship channel]] owned by [[A&E Networks]], a [[joint venture]] between [[Hearst Communications]] and [[The 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 into [[reality television]] programming. In addition to this change in format, the network has been criticized by many scientists, historians, and skeptics for broadcasting [[pseudo-documentaries]] and [[pseudoscientific]], unsubstantiated, sensational investigative programming.
