American cable television channel
Television channel
Discovery Channel
, known as
The Discovery Channel
from 1985 to 1995, and often referred to as simply
Discovery
, is an American cable channel owned by
Warner Bros. Discovery
, a publicly traded company run by CEO
David Zaslav
. As of June 2012
[update]
, Discovery Channel was the third most widely distributed subscription channel in the United States, behind now-sibling channel
TBS
and
The Weather Channel
;
[3]
it is available in 409 million households worldwide, through its U.S. flagship channel and its various owned or licensed television channels internationally.
[4]
It initially provided documentary television programming focused primarily on
popular science
, technology, and history, but by the 2010s had expanded into reality television and
pseudo-scientific
entertainment.
[5]
[6]
[7]
As of November 2023
[update]
, Discovery Channel is available to approximately 71,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its peak of 99,000,000 in 2011.
[8]
History
John Hendricks
founded the channel and its parent company, Cable Educational Network Inc., in 1982.
[9]
Several investors (including the
BBC
,
Allen & Company
and Venture America) raised $5 million in start-up capital to launch the network.
The Discovery Channel began broadcasting on June 17, 1985. It was initially available to 156,000 households and broadcast for 12 hours each day between 3 p.m. and 3 a.m. About 75 percent of its program content had never been broadcast on U.S. television before.
[10]
In its early years, the channel's focus centered on educational programming in the form of cultural and wildlife documentaries, and science and historical
specials
. It also broadcast some
Soviet programming
during this time, including the news program
Vremya
.
[11]
The channel also carried two
teletext
services over its
VBI
during this time, Infotext (offering news from the
Associated Press
, as well as information about
agribusiness
and agriculture, including commodity prices from the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange
on a 15-minute delay), and Datavizion (offering trivia, strange news stories, games and a satellite TV guide); both services originated from
WHA-TV
in
Madison, Wisconsin
, and were run by the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
.
[12]
[13]
The channel began to shift its focus in the early 2000s to attract a broader audience, by incorporating more
reality-based series
focusing on automotive, occupations, and speculative investigation series; though the refocused programming strategy proved popular, Discovery Channel's ratings began to decline by the middle of the decade. Some critics
[14]
said such shows strayed from Discovery's intention of providing more educationally based shows aimed at helping viewers learn about the world around them. In 2005, Discovery changed its programming focus to include more
popular science
and historical themes.
[15]
The network's ratings eventually recovered in 2006.
[16]
On January 4, 2006, Discovery Communications announced anchor
Ted Koppel
, executive producer Tom Bettag and eight other former staff members from the
ABC
newsmagazine
Nightline
were joining Discovery Channel. The network was nominated for seven
Primetime Emmy Awards
that year for shows including
The Flight that Fought Back
(a documentary about the hijacking of
United Airlines Flight 93
during the
terrorist attacks
of September 11, 2001) and
Deadliest Catch
(a reality series about a group of seafood fishermen).
In 2007, Discovery Channel's top series included the Emmy Award? and Peabody Award?winning
Planet Earth
,
Dirty Jobs
,
MythBusters
, and
Deadliest Catch
. Discovery Channel's 2008 lineup included
Fight Quest
and
Smash Lab
.
[17]
On September 1, 2010,
43-year-old James Jay Lee entered
the Discovery Communications headquarters in
Silver Spring, Maryland
, armed with a handgun. Lee fired at least one shot and held several employees hostage; he was later shot dead by police.
[18]
[19]
Lee had published criticisms of the network at Savetheplanetprotest.com.
[19]
In December 2015, Discovery Communications launched its
TV Everywhere
service, Discovery Go, which features live and video-on-demand content from Discovery Channel and eight of its sister networks.
[20]
Programming
Programming on the flagship Discovery Channel in the U.S. is primarily focused on reality television series, such as speculative investigation (with shows such as
MythBusters
,
Unsolved History
, and
Best Evidence
), automobiles, and occupations (such as
Dirty Jobs
and
Deadliest Catch
). A popular annual feature on the channel is
Shark Week
, which airs on Discovery during the summer months.
[21]
Discovery has also featured documentaries specifically aimed at families and younger audiences. Other popular programs have included
How It's Made
,
Cash Cab
, and
Man vs. Wild
.
Non-television ventures
Pro Cycling Team
Shortly before the 2004
Tour de France
, Discovery Channel announced it would become the primary sponsor of a professional bicycling team starting in 2005, featuring the then-seven-time
Tour de France
winner
Lance Armstrong
, whose wins were voided after he was proven to have cheated via doping. After the 2007 victory with the Spaniard
Alberto Contador
, Discovery Channel discontinued the cycling sponsorship.
[22]
[23]
Store
This article is about the US chain of stores. For the former gadget store chain in the United Kingdom, see
The Discovery Store
.
The Discovery Channel stores first opened in 1995. By 1997, the chain had 17 US and 1 UK stores. At that time, the chain was building a flagship store in Washington, DC, with three levels themed to various environments?sea and underground, land and outer space, aviation and science?to be opened in February 1998, with another flagship store in San Francisco to be opened in November 1998.
[24]
On May 17, 2007, Discovery Communications announced it would close its standalone and mall-based stores. Hudson Group will continue to operate the Discovery Channel Airport Stores, and the website remains in operation.
[25]
Telescope
Discovery Channel funded the construction of the
Lowell Discovery Telescope
, in partnership with
Lowell Observatory
.
[26]
Website
Discovery.com is the Discovery Channel's official website, which primarily provides information on the channel's programming and additional content, including articles, tied to those shows.
[27]
[28]
Marketing and branding
The Discovery Channel's first logo was a television screen picturing a map of the world. For two decades, starting in 1987, the channel's logo incorporated the Discovery wordmark rendered in the Aurora Bold Condensed font with a circular shape in front of it. The circle usually took the form of a rising sun, or an animated version of the
Vitruvian Man
. Discovery Channel's previous
slogans
had been "Explore Your World" and "There's No Thrill Like Discovery." Keeping with its changing focus away from strictly educational programming toward reality TV, the slogan was changed in the early 2000s to "Entertain Your Brain".
[29]
In 1995, the channel's name was simplified to "Discovery Channel", dropping "The" from its name. A globe became a permanent part of the logo, and an underline was added to the bottom of the logo
On March 31, 2008, Discovery unveiled a new logo, which took effect on-air on April 15, 2008 (coinciding with the fourth season premiere of
Deadliest Catch
). The new logo was designed by Viewpoint Creative, and integrated Discovery's long-time globe iconography into the "D" lettering of the wordmark, creating a
monogram
that was usable as a standalone icon. The launch was accompanied by a new advertising campaign, "The World is Just Awesome", which featured scenes of Discovery personalities singing an adapted version of the song "I Love the Mountains". Discovery Channel president John Ford explained that the campaign was intended to "showcase our earned place in the greater pop culture landscape".
[30]
In August 2013 (coinciding with
Shark Week
), the aforementioned monogram became the main on-air logo as part of a new imaging campaign, "Grab Life By the Globe", which was designed to emphasize the channel's current focus on personality-driven programming. The logo was portrayed in promos with visual effects relevant to their respective program.
[31]
On April 1, 2019, Discovery unveiled a new logo, maintaining a refreshed version of the previous globe and D monogram. The new branding is accompanied by another new imaging campaign, "The World is Ours", which features scenes of Discovery personalities singing the
Blue Swede
version of "
Hooked on a Feeling
". The static version of the globe icon uses a non-standard
projection
that shows all continents, reflecting Discovery's presence as an international brand.

Controversies
RFID
In August 2008, it was reported by
The Consumerist
that Discovery Channel had preempted an episode of
MythBusters
examining
RFID
security in regard to its implementation in
credit cards
before its original broadcast because the episode would upset credit card companies, who are major advertisers on Discovery Channel.
[41]
It was later determined that the decision not to investigate the issue was made by
Beyond Productions
, the
MythBusters
production company, and was not made by Discovery Channel or their advertising department.
[42]
Enigmatic Malaysia
An ad promoting
Enigmatic Malaysia
, a special series on the network meant to highlight the cultural heritages of
Malaysia
, mistakenly featured
Balinese
Pendet dancers
. This prompted outrage from Balinese dancers, who posted messages demanding that Malaysia apologize over the misinformation, which then sparked a series of street protests.
[43]
Further demands were made from the local governments, cultural historians and the tourism ministry in
Indonesia
for Malaysia to clarify the situation.
[44]
The Malaysian government reportedly offered an apology, which was rejected by the Indonesian tourism minister, since the apology was given informally by phone, the Indonesian tourism minister demanded a written apology to make it more accountable.
[45]
Shark Week
Romanian RCS&RDS
In November 2012, the Romanian
RCS&RDS
, the largest company of its kind on the internal market, interrupted its carriage of Discovery Communications channels, including Discovery Channel. The CEO of Discovery Communications Mark Hollinger sent an open letter in his attempt to counteract the action of RCS&RDS, attracting the attention to the negation of the alleged right of the viewer to choose the viewed channels.
[46]
In turn, RCS&RDS issued a press statement accusing of hypocrisy Hollinger's discourse attentive at the needs of viewers and attracted attention to the fact that, during negotiations, the main preoccupations of the Discovery representatives was maintaining as high as possible tariffs and monetary gains".
[47]
After four years of absence, on December 30, 2016, the Discovery Channel and its sister channel TLC returned to the RCS&RDS CATV, IPTV and DTH networks.

bait and switch
.
[50]
[51]
Naked and Afraid
Naked and Afraid
