Talk:History Channel

Wrongful deletion

Disney+ has been showing History channel T.V. show for at least 6 months. As such stop removing it from streaming services Article editor100 (talk) 02:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

You need to provide a reliable source. I am not able to find any such source, in fact the History Channel website does not list Disney+. ... discospinster _talk 16:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

History (American TV network) → History Channel – Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:NAMECHANGES, and WP:NATURAL. Over a decade after the History Channel changed its name to just History, sources (and the general public) continue to widely use its former name, including: NYT, WaPo, LA Times, Vulture, Forbes, AP, The Guardian, WSJ, THR, The New Yorker, Bloomberg, CNN, The Daily Telegraph, TheWrap, Business Insider, The Independent, Variety, Deadline, TVLine, Time, NBC News, CBS News, etc. These are all articles from 2023.

• Support as common name BhamBoi (talk) 23:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
• Support move to the obvious common name. O.N.R. ^(talk) 16:47, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose. That's not what this TV network is called, and hasn't been for over 15 years. I can understand the prevalence of "History Channel" in articles given the awkwardness of using simply "History" in running text, and "History" in Google searches understandably brings us to all sorts of different results. The current primary redirect is working as it should, and the status quo is fine. 162 etc. (talk) 17:29, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

  That is a classic WP:OFFICIALNAME argument. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:54, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)

Proposed merger

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)
