Story Television is an American digital broadcast television network owned by Weigel Broadcasting that airs programming which is related to history, normally older programs which are licensed from other networks.

The formation of the network was announced on February 14, 2022. Weigel president Neal Sabin stated: “As we looked at the landscape, we looked at what genre works really well for advertisers and viewership that isn’t currently on the air right now." The genre which was chosen would be history-oriented programming. The name "Story" directly came from "history", the word that will play in the shows' taglines.{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/story-television-network-weigel-broadcasting-1235180930/|title = MeTV Owner Weigel Broadcasting to Launch Story Television, Its First Unscripted National Network (EXCLUSIVE)|date = 14 February 2022}}

The network was launched on March 28, 2022 on stations owned by Weigel, Hearst Television, Maranatha Broadcasting Company, Marquee Broadcasting and others, along with national cable distribution through providers such as Spectrum where no affiliate exists.{{Cite web|url=https://thedesk.net/2022/03/weigel-story-television-new-channel/|title = Weigel launches Story Television on over-the-air broadcast stations|date = 29 March 2022}}
