We’re absolutely thrilled to share that History Hit won Best Factual Channel at the prestigious Broadcast Digital Awards 2025!
Furthermore, Endurance, which we co-produced with Little Dot Studios, National Geographic Documentaries, Consequential LLC and Little Monster Films for Disney+, won the award for Best Documentary Programme.
Our win for Best Factual Channel follows two consecutive years of being named as Best Specialist Channel. The judges at Broadcast (MBI) recognised History Hit’s unique approach to bringing history to life, praising our “real ambition” and “dynamic approach” to the genre, noting that our “multiplatform reach, consistent output, and expert-led storytelling” make us a “standout destination for passionate audiences.” Another judge commended our truly “360-degree approach across YouTube, SVOD and podcasts in a way that feels digital first and impressively authentic.”
Such recognition is particularly meaningful, given we were shortlisted alongside industry giants including National Geographic, BBC Earth, LadBible Stories, More 4, and U&Yesterday.
As our Head of Programming, Bill Locke, put it:
Winning Best Specialist channel two years in a row was already pretty amazing, but to score a hat-trick with the Best Factual Channel this year is totally gobsmacking! We’re really lucky to make films about the subjects we love. We’ve got a top team who work really hard to share great stories from the past – it may sound corny, but we can only do that thanks to our subscribers who help keep us on the history road.
Thank you to Broadcast and the judges for these incredible honours, and a huge thank you to you, our subscribers, for being a part of our winning journey.
