The Discovery Channel, the world is just awesome.

The Discovery channel is a channel that shows people shows about science, advanced technologies, and the history. Few people in our school like, many don't. Too many, in fact. Oh well, can't change their minds.

The Discovery Channel is an American satellite and cable TV channel that is similar to that of the National Geographic Channel and History. It was founded by John Hendricks and distributed by Discovery Communications. It provides documentary programming focused primarily on popular science, technology, and history as said above. In the U.S., the programming for the main Discovery network is primarily focused on reality-based television themes, such as speculative investigation (with shows such as MythBusters, Unsolved History, and Best Evidence), automobiles, and occupations (Dirty Jobs and Deadliest Catch); it also features documentaries specifically aimed at families and younger audiences. A popular annual feature is Shark Week.

On June 17, 1985, Discovery Channel was launched with $5 million in start-up capital from the BBC, the American investment firm Allen and Company, Venture America and several other investors. In the beginning it was available to 156,000 households and would broadcast for 12 hours between 3 p.m. and 3 a.m. with about 75 percent of the content new to American viewers John Hendricks is credited with founding of the channel and its parent company, then known as Cable Educational Network Inc, in 1982. Within five years, the channel's reach had extended to over 50 million households. It is still odd how things change so fast isn't it. In 2007 the top series of the Discovery Channel was Dirty Jobs, and Emmy-award winning Planet Earth, Mythbusters (best show ever), and Deadliest Catch. See it won awards.

To conclude, Discovery Channel is currently the most widely distributed cable network in the United States, reaching more than 92 million households, part of its global audience of 431 million homes in 170 countries and territories. Versions of the channel are seen in Latin America, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, India, Malaysia and other countries. As you all well see Discovery Channel may end up as the most popular Channel on the planet, if it is I will laugh at the people at school.
