The service combines the live linear channels A&E, History, H2 and Lifetime with an on-demand library of more than 2,000 shows from A+E Global Media’s catalogue. Programming spans documentaries, reality series, movies, scripted series and television specials.

A+E said History+ also includes programming from A+E Global Media that has not previously aired on its linear channels in Latin America, including movies, international scripted series, complete seasons on-demand and special premieres.

Victor Hernandez, executive VP, chief financial officer and chief operating officer at A+E Networks Latin America, said the launch reinforces the company’s “long-term strategy of expanding our premium digital distribution footprint throughout Latin America.” He said the service brings the company’s four brands together in one place for audiences who want to watch whenever and wherever they choose.

A+E Networks Latin America is a joint venture between Hearst Communications-owned A+E Global Media and Ole Communications. Its channels reach more than 74 million households in the region.
