As we hinted a couple of weeks ago, the History Channel HD is launching on Sky HD tomorrow (Thursday 26 October). It'll broadcast on Sky channel 545 from 8am-2pm daily, promising that all programming will be in high definition.
Content includes UK premieres of Engineering an Empire, Warrior Empire: The Mughals, and The Sahara, as well as HD versions of The Plague, The Crusades: Crescent & The Cross, and Beyond the Da Vinci Code.
Brian Sullivan, Sky’s Director Customer Products and Services said, “Sky HD offers the most extensive range and highest quality HD programmes in the UK and we are thrilled The History Channel is launching the world’s first high definition history channel on our Sky HD service. The channel is set to offer some truly epic productions, and HD will enable viewers to get even more immersed in some of the most historically significant events of our time. The History Channel HD line up promises to transport you back in time and around the world in never seen before clarity.”
It takes Sky's own HD channel count to eleven, and further diversifies the programmes available in high definition.
