History
Discovery Channel launched in Europe on 1 April 1989.[2]
The localized Dutch feed of Discovery Channel launched on 12 April 2003, replacing the European feed.
The Dutch Discovery Channel distinguishes itself from other versions by having broadcast live sports events. In late November 2008 it broadcast three matches from the Eredivisie that resulted in high ratings. These matches were seen by 805,000 viewers.[3][4][5]
In August 2009 the channel switched to the 16:9 widescreen format.[6]
