Commenting on the success of HistoryTV18’s originals, Avinash Kaul, CEO – Broadcast Network18 and MD A+E Networks | TV18, said:
“In today’s evolving entertainment landscape, collaborations that were once unlikely are now driving innovation, with legacy brands joining forces. This is particularly evident in factual entertainment, where HistoryTV18’s award-winning Indian Originals, like India: Marvels & Mysteries with William Dalrymple, are also licensed to Discovery Plus and feature prominently in the streaming platform’s content line-up in India. This is a testament to the strength and enduring quality of our productions.”
While HistoryTV18 continues to captivate over 100 million loyal viewers on TV with its international shows from A+E Networks and high-quality Indian originals, the brand’s digital presence is also thriving.
