OUR BRANDS ABOUT US CAREERS COMMERCIAL NEWS CONTACT US A+E NETWORKS® UK IS A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN A+E NETWORKS® AND SKY. We began life in November 1995 as one channel (‘The History Channel’) broadcasting for only a few hours a day in the UK. Twenty+ years on and our portfolio of leading factual and entertainment brands has grown to include HISTORY®, Lifetime®, Crime + Investigation® and H2®. In September 2016 we launched our very first UK free to air entertainment channel, BLAZE™. A key strength of our business is being part of global entertainment media company A+E Networks, which reaches over 330 million people worldwide (check latest stats – is it a monthly stat?).

We complement these shows with top acquisitions such as Vikings, Project Runway and Homicide Hunter as well as compelling commissions in our territories, bringing a local flavour to channels in each market. These include: Britain’s Next Top Model, Sean Bean on Waterloo and Crimes That Shook Britain in the UK; Four Weddings South Africa for Lifetime Africa; and Pick n Bid (Brać czy nie brać) for HISTORY Poland.
