hi @Waiting+for+Atmos

Edit : As per the link it is still available in SD

Thanks for the info, Sky's obviously struggling financially and cutting back whilst upping subs.

Despite the name, 'Sky History' has never been one of the normal Sky-branded channels: it's a joint venture with Hearst Networks and essentially operated by them.

As in William Randolph Hearst? The guy who built Hearst Castle? There's a  great season of the "Business wars" podcast about the 1920s newspaper battle between him and Pullitzer.

Yes, Hearst Corporation, Hearst Holdings Inc. and Hearst Communications Inc are infrastructure for what's left of that families assets (with five direct descendants on the board) and Hearst / A&E Networks is part of it.
