A&E was an Australian subscription television channel.[1] The network mainly carried programming from its its American counterpart, along with limited domestically-originated content.[2] On 23 February 2012, Austar announced on their Facebook page that they would be launching A&E on Sunday 26 February 2012.[3]
The network closed on 31 July 2024 after the expiration of Foxtel's licensing agreement with A&E Networks International, with its programming dispersed onto Foxtel's streaming platform and Fox8, and its sister networks taking genericised names (History becoming Real History and C+I becoming Real Crime).[4]
