Discovery Channel is a cable television channel which began broadcasting in June
1985. It used to be a
Science Show oriented network. Nowadays,
it's kind of hard to tell. Most notable for being the network with
MythBusters,
Man Vs Wild,
Deadliest Catch and
Dirty Jobs. Also has a
Shark Week every year since 1987, usually in mid-summer. Their current slogan is
literally
The World is Just Awesome. They often employ the
Docu Drama approach to their shows.
Often seen as competing with The History Channel; both in the days when the two networks primarily aired educational programming and today in
the race to become Network Decay's poster child.
