Additionally, India Marvels & Mysteries with William Dalrymple received nominations for best direction (documentary or non-fiction) and best editing (documentary or non-fiction).
Further confirming its creative excellence, HistoryTV18 celebrated two national nominations at the Asian Academy Creative Awards 2024.

These accolades underscore HistoryTV18’s commitment to local stories and innovative storytelling. By consistently delivering content that engages audiences across India and Asia, the channel has solidified its position in factual entertainment.
TV18 CEO – broadcast Network18 and MD A+E networks Avinash Kaul said, “In today’s evolving entertainment landscape, collaborations that were once unlikely are now driving innovation, with legacy brands joining forces.

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.
