This article is about the European channel. For the US channel, see Science Channel.
Discovery Science is a pay television network, operated by Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA, it targets several European countries' television markets. It primarily features programming in the fields of space, technology and science. The channel originally launched as Discovery Sci-Trek. Its programming is mainly in English and locally subtitled or dubbed. It is available through numerous subscription services across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In some countries the advertisement and the announcements between programs are localized.
On 19 August 1998, Discovery announced they would launch several new digital channels to coincide with the launch of Sky Digital platform, one of which would be Discovery Sci-Trek, a UK version of the Discovery Science Channel in the United States. However, despite early plans to launch it under the US name, the channel went on air as Discovery Sci-Trek on 1 October 1998.[4]
The channel later saw launches in other European countries, and eventually the channel rebranded as the Discovery Science Channel on 1 April 2003.[5][6]
In April 2008, the channel's name was shortened to simply Discovery Science, which was followed by the launch of a one-hour timeshift service on 21 April 2008 in the United Kingdom, located on Sky 549, which replaced a placeholder 90-minute timeshift of Discovery Channel, known as Discovery +1.5.[7]
On 24 January 2013, Discovery channels returned on Numericable in France.[8] In December 2016, Altice acquired an exclusivity agreement with NBCUniversal and Discovery Networks.[9][10] Discovery Channel, Discovery Science and Investigation Discovery were removed from Canal+ on 17 January 2017.[11] The channel (along with Discovery Channel) had high shares (0,5% in 2014, 0,4% in 2016[12]) before have been removed from Canal+.[13]
Throughout its life as the Discovery Sci-Trek Channel, the channel used an image of the rings of Saturn as its logo and in idents. When relaunching as the Discovery Science Channel, it became a stylised molecule, with the Discovery Channel globe as one of its atoms.
Since then, the channel has followed its United States counterpart The Science Channel, currently known as 'Science', in logo trends. In March 2008, Discovery Science adopted a modified version of the periodic table logo used from 2007, and in 2012, the channel adopted the new 'Morph' logo introduced in 2011.
