A USA cable television channel. It runs a variety of history-related programming, unfortunately almost entirely tending toward military history and American history, with some European history. They have several original themed shows, such as History's Mysteries and History at the Movies--that's kind of neat, actually. They show a period movie and have academics on during the breaks to discuss the accuracy and inaccuracy of the film. It also has a game show, "History IQ," and presents the Harry Awards for historical films. If you didn't like history in high school, chances are the History Channel won't do anything for you. www.historychannel.com
