In 2005, Yue Global started to enter the pay television market. On July 16, 2006, World Archive Channel was launched. The channel was commonly known as either World Archive or WAC (pronounced whack). World Archive mainly aired history documentaries.

Because of World Archive's acquirement of History Channel's programs, their ratings grew, and became one of YinYangia's most popular edutainment channels.

On March 1, 2009, A&E Networks purchased 50% of World Archive Channel, and was converted to History. The YinYangian version's programming lineup was the same as its American counterpart, and both simulcasted until 2011. Prior to that, the Southeast Asian feed of History aired in YinYangia.

In 2012, the channel added YinYangiese and Japanese subtitles, to attract more viewers.

Yue Global continued to own the rest 50% of the channel, until selling its stake to A&E on January 31, 2014.
