On 6 January 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from History (American TV network) to History Channel. The result of the discussion was moved.

The contents of H2 (American TV channel) was merged into History Channel on 9 April 2025. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Two Program sections

I found that there were two sections that listed the programs that the History Channel airs. As this is redundant, I intend to remove the second program section, as the first one includes a link to a list of History Channel programs. Zach Morton 2 (talk) 16:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Background Noise.....

All too often the background noise drowns out the primary audio--WHY ??? Where is the brains behind doing that ? It seems to me that this is the same with other programs I've watched--- WHY ?? Bill Wilson 2603:6010:6E00:5204:D542:CAFF:CF14:4D0F (talk) 23:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger done and complete. Intrisit (talk) 21:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging H2 (American TV channel) into History Channel. As the article itself points out, H2 basically served as an extension of the History Channel, especially during its later years. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 17:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That does seem like a great solution Lukas34346 (talk) 07:12, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

makes sense; what's the holdup? <<chramo94>> (talk) 04:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

History Channel is Missleading

This channel has become a joke. Aliens, Bigfoot, ghosts and speculation, are not history. Avoid it at all costs. 2603:8000:2CF0:29E0:7076:1140:2295:A0B0 (talk) 18:19, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your point being? Just because it has "history" in the title does not mean that the channel covers any historical topic or that it does any serious research. Other works of pseudohistory and pseudoarcheology have similar titles. Dimadick (talk) 05:10, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
