The Military History Channel is a spinoff of the History Channel, the sixth U.S. network started by AETN, and was offered to cable and satellite systems starting Wednesday.

New series The Proof Is Out There: Military Mysteries would fit right into a past era of grazing cable programming on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

From the earliest settlers and the Revolutionary War, American soldiers have been a transformative force shaping history.

The official launch date for the Military History Channel in the UK is announced as July 28.
