The Discovery Channel brand would not exist without the innovative and critically acclaimed series and specials that define the channel. The home to such past programming achievements as Wild Discovery, the franchise begun by Walking with Dinosaurs, Raising the Mammoth, Watergate, Blue Planet, and countless others, Discovery has continually strived to amaze its audience with the best in real-world programming.
Discovery maintains its position of distinction by teaming with some of the finest production companies in the world — including the BBC, NBC, and New York Times Television — to create the most compelling programming anywhere. These efforts continue to yield bountiful dividends through the network’s signature specials. Coming soon are Walking with Spacemen, Body Spectacular, The Last Day of Pompeii, and Genghis Khan, as well as new signature series including Big, American Casino, and N.O.W. (No Opportunity Wasted). These offerings will join popular primetime series including Monster Garage, Monster House, American Chopper, Mythbusters, American Hot Rod, The New Detectives, Extreme Engineering, and Unsolved History to round out the network’s schedule.
The Discovery Channel’s commitment to the finest in real-world programming is reinforced by its Discovery Channel Quest initiative. This project, designed to inspire, fund, and document large-scale scientific exploration, has yielded landmark programs including James Cameron’s Expedition: Bismarck and Nefertiti Resurrected. The network has long supported these kinds of efforts, resulting in the recovery of the Liberty Bell 7 space capsule and the wreck of Captain Kidd’s ship off Madagascar. Discovery is extending this legacy through more ambitious programming efforts that may one day uncover more of the world’s greatest and most enduring mysteries.
