History Channel Challenges You with '10 Things You Don't Know About'

Learn new things and challenge what you know with History as it premieres "10 Things You Don't Know About" this July, airing every Wednesday at 9pm. Expect a series of exciting facts to be revealed by author and maverick historian David Eisenbach, as he discloses the most intriguing and eye-opening details about some of history's most fascinating tales and legends.

The series premiere features back-to-back episodes, kicking off with Benjamin Franklin, which explores the other side of America's multi-talented Founding Father. While known as one of the first and most well-known leaders of the world who helped save the American Revolution, many are unaware that Franklin was also an eccentric who owned slaves and frequented sex clubs—and was even a suspected serial killer. Catch this episode on Wednesday, July 11 at 9:30pm, with a replay on Thursday, July 12 at 9:30am and 5:30pm.

Episode two on July 11 at 9pm introduces a new persona to the John F. Kennedy the world knows. Not only a prominent figure in US politics, he was also a courier in Nazi Germany, a body builder, and was seriously addicted to danger.

The third installment of the series, airing on July 18 at 9pm, uncovers the secret life of America's most respected and feared lawman, J. Edgar Hoover—the head of the FBI for 40 years who was once also a suspected peeping tom, a sexual blackmailer, and the creator of the first ever Gay Spy Ring.

Finally, revisit the world's most famous Wild West gunfight in The OK Corralon July 25 at 9pm, and discover the truth behind the event at the very scene of the crime. Relive the thirty-second shootout, which, contrary to popular belief, didn't actually happen at the OK Corral, and discover even more unearthed secrets about the details of what really happened on that day.

History is available on SKYCable Ch 25; Cable Link Ch. 44; Dream Satellite Ch 30; Destiny Cable Ch 57.
