Histoire TV is a French television channel, owned by Groupe TF1. The network mainly carries programming about historical events.
History[]
Histoire was launched on 14 July 1997 by an alliance of public holdings (France Télévisions, INA and La Sept-Arte) and private shareholders (Pathé, Wanadoo and Suez).
In June 2004, the Groupe TF1 acquired fully Histoire, privatizing it.
On 2 January 2012, the TF1 pay-TV channels joined ISP optional packages. Previously, Histoire was exclusively available on TPS, Canalsat and for 0.49€ on Free.[1]
In December 2012, Discovery Communications acquired 20% of TF1 pay-TV thematic channels for €170 million for Eurosport and €14 million for Ushuaïa TV, Histoire, Stylia and TV Breizh.[2][3]
On 17 July 2015, TF1 sold its remaining 49% stake in Eurosport to Discovery Communications for €492 million. At the same time, the French group bought out the 20% stake held by the American group in its pay-TV channels (TV Breizh, Histoire and Ushuaïa) for 14.6 million euros.[4][5]
Patrick Buisson, who was the channel managing director from 2007 to 2018,[6] had his son Georges hired there until the latter was "exfiltrated" from the Stylia channel after disagreements with his father.[7]
On 4 December 2019, TV Breizh, Ushuaïa TV and Histoire were rebranded with a "TV" logo common between them.[8]
Its competitor is Toute l'Histoire.
