Licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as Canal Historie to Alliance Atlantis and Premier Choix Networks (Astral),[1] the channel was launched on January 31, 2000 as Historia.

On January 18, 2008, a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners known as CW media bought Alliance Atlantis and gained its interest in Historia. The new company also acquired Historia's English language counterpart, History Television.

On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media, giving it control of CW Media's 50% interest in Historia.[2][3]
