But First, a History Lesson: Why You Need the History Channel on Hulu
- Tired of the Kardashians re-running their lives? Immerse yourself in the actual drama of Cleopatra, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon! (Spoiler alert: they probably had more exciting stuff going on).
- Need a break from the never-ending news cycle? Dive into the past and learn from the mistakes (and triumphs!) of humanity. Plus, who doesn't love a good conspiracy theory documentary about aliens building the pyramids?
- Ever wondered what your ancestors were up to? The History Channel might just have the answer! You never know, you might uncover a hidden family secret that involves a secret society and the Holy Grail. (Okay, maybe not, but it's fun to think about!)
Alright, Alright, Enough with the History Buffs! How Do I Get This Channel on My Hulu?
There are two main ways to get your History Channel fix on Hulu, depending on your current subscription setup.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Calling All Cable Cutters with a Live TV hankering: If you're rocking the Hulu + Live TV package, then you're already halfway there! The History Channel is typically included in most basic Live TV packages. Just fire up your Hulu app, navigate to the Live TV guide section, and channel surf your way to historical enlightenment.
The On-Demand Only Tribe: For those who prefer on-demand over live TV, the History Channel isn't included in the base Hulu subscription. But fear not, history seeker! You can unlock its content by adding the Entertainment Add-on to your plan. This nifty little add-on includes the History Channel, along with a bunch of other networks to keep you entertained for days (or weeks... no judgement here).
