Discovery Inc.

Discovery, Inc. was a New York City based mass media and factual television company that owned and operated a portfolio of networks including Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, Investigation Discovery, Science Channel, HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel, OWN, and Eurosport, reaching audiences in more than 220 countries and territories. The company produced and distributed nonfiction programming across genres such as nature, science, exploration, home, food, and crime, addressing the need for documentary and lifestyle content on cable and digital platforms. It expanded significantly through the 2018 acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive for 14.6 billion dollars, which added the Scripps lifestyle brands to its portfolio, and through the launch of its direct to consumer streaming service discovery+ in 2021. Discovery served pay television distributors, advertisers, and streaming subscribers worldwide, with notable differentiators including its ownership of premium factual brands and its position as a leading pay-TV programmer. On April 8, 2022, Discovery, Inc. completed its merger with WarnerMedia to form Warner Bros. Discovery, and the standalone Discovery, Inc. entity ceased to exist.
