The History Channel had previously been available in Scandinavia. It was launched in September 1997, broadcasting for three hours per day on the Analogue Viasat platform. Initally time-sharing with TV1000 Cinema, it was later moved to the Swedish TV8 channel and continued broadcasting there until November 2004 when Viasat launched their own history channel, Viasat History, in the Nordic region and closed down the History Channel.
