Discovery Channel via Optimum

Discovery Channel is the world's biggest fan of the world. There's nothing else that entertains, challenges and teaches like the planet all around us. It is part playground and part laboratory. It's an infinite source of inspiration. It's an invitation to discover. From the top of remote mountain peaks to untamed rivers, unlocked tombs and the search for distant galaxies, Discovery audiences don't just explore our fantastic world, they are immersed in it. Discovery Channel continues its mission of high-quality television. Experience all the wonder and excitement of what’s still out there, just waiting to be discovered. 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.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); it also features documentaries specifically aimed at families and younger audiences.
