PROFILE |
 |
A&E Television Networks is defying the notion that TV rots the brain. It offers a smorgasbord of programming in history, the arts, current events, and nature through its two main cable networks: A&E (more than 76 million subscribers) and The History Channel (more than 62 million subscribers). The company's flagship program is A&E's "Biography," which has expanded into magazines, books, videos, and interactive media. A&E Television also operates two digital cable channels (Biography Channel, History Channel International) and a handful of Web sites. A&E is a joint venture of media giants Hearst (37.5%), Walt Disney's ABC (37.5%), and General Electric's NBC (25%).
