BREAKING. Discovery World's channel focus and TV shows.
You're reading it here first.
Ealier today MultiChoice and Discovery - just after their announcement that South African viewers will get to see the new Discovery World chnnel (DStv 250) from 1 March - were not willing or able to answer or help with even the most basic questions surrounding the new channel.
I wanted to know how Discovery World will be different from the already existing Discovery channel that will move to DStv channel 121 from 1 March, and what the kind of programs will be. Super basic information. MultiChoice and Discovery were not willing or even eager to help. So I got it myself.
Discovery World specialises in TV shows about deep-seated investigations of the ancient world, natural history, people and places, modern history and key historical and modern-day events, exploration, the history of technology, and warcraft as well as weaponry. Now was that so difficult to tell me?
Specific TV shows on Discovery World that viewers will be able to see from March will include Prehistoric Disaster, Zero Hour, When Weather Changed History, We Built This City, Weaponology, Weapon Masters and Ranging Planet.
