H2 (formerly History International) was an American specialty television channel that was owned by A+E Networks (a joint venture between the Hearst Corporation and the Disney–ABC Television Group), available on multi-channel television providers.
Launching in 1998 as History International, a spin-off of the History Channel focused on international history, it re-launched as H2 in September 2011, primarily carrying reruns of documentary programming previously seen on its parent network from the mid-2000s onward, original historical and popular science documentaries, and pseudoscientific entertainment programs. The channel ceased operations on February 29, 2016 and was subsequently replaced by Viceland.
