History2 is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by Men TV General Partnership, a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment dedicated to airing historic and non-historical programming of military, science, and technology interest.

After several ownership changes, the channel was rebranded to the Canadian version of H2 in 2012 with the brand licensed from A&E Networks before adopting its current name in 2019.

Scripted programming such as films, variety shows, comedies, and television dramas did also air on the channel, however.

It argued that the network's carriage in Canada would harm mentv due to an alleged overlap between its programming scope with it and several other Canadian channels.

[8] On May 30, 2012, Shaw Media announced that it would be launching a Canadian version of the history-focused American channel, H2, on August 27, 2012.

When launched as mentv and later renamed to The Cave, this channel combined male-friendly entertainment with lifestyle programming targeting male audiences.
