You missed Philo.

Or, if you would like to watch for free, just search on YouTube for The History Channel full episodes.
yah, if you want chopped up horrible sound and picture quality! YOU TUBE, has copyright issues with its creators, so you WILL NOT get totally full, good shows to watch!, from the history channel on You tube!
I would rather go to a skimpy bundler that i never heard of as opposed to your “usual suspects”.
Do a blog on that and you might get real popular real fast.
We hear you! The skinniest one around is Philo, but we’re always on the lookout for something slimmer. If someone makes a slimmer and cheaper legal streaming option, you’ll hear about it here.
You need to remove Fubo
I am very upset that the history channel is not on fubo anymore
mimi
For sure. I love the History Channel, too. My wife also lost her Lifetime/LMN on Fubo. So we switched to Hulu+Live TV. The sports are not as robust as with Fubo but we’re not willing to sacrifice these love channels.
fuboTV alerted customers that as of June 30th, 2021, they will no longer carry six A+E Networks channels including, A&E, History Channel, Lifetime, FYI Channel, Lifetime Movie Network, and Vice TV.
What are the chances that YouTubeTV will provide the History Channel?
like the rest of streaming services, at a high price! what good is “cutting the cord” if streaming services charge the same prices? the whole point was to find a cheaper alternative – to cable,, I my self are not seeing that anywhere on the NET!!!
They have History but not the premier shows.
Philo doesn’t work w Samsung TV and sling is horrible. Fast forwarding through commercials is so awkward w sling and the last of the show gets cut off.
