A+E opens History Vault in Africa

A+E Networks is rolling out its VoD offering History Vault in South Africa, marking its first launch for the service outside North America.

History Vault offers shows including Cities from the Underworld

The VoD service offers shows such as Mankind: The Story of All of Us, Cities from the Underworld, Mummies Day and Sex, Drugs & Rock ’n Roll, with other programmes covering topics such as space exploration, the Bible and legendary leaders.

History Vault will include HD content curated from over 30 collections in its first three months, with new collections to be added on a weekly basis, so customers are encouraged to keep checking back for new wonders to discover.

Yusuf Nabee, general manager of A+E Networks Africa, has recently overseen the launch of a pop-up channel dedicated to the history of football and an app allowing viewers to create user-generated content for special event programming.

“History Vault further cements our commitment to work closely with our partners and offer our content in a variety of innovative ways,” he added. The service is available to customers of cableco DStv.
