探索頻道(Discovery Channel)最初是被母公司探索通信(Discovery Communications)定位為娛樂網絡的其中一個頻道，將在世界各大收費電視播放。該網絡最初給人的印象是播放科學節目、紀錄片和大自然節目的類型。探索頻道的口號是"讓我們發現全部..."(Let's All Discovery...)，然後接着的詞就是與即將播放的節目有關。探索網絡是於1985年在美國啟播，他們當時的口號是"讓我們的腦袋娛樂"(Entertain Your Brain)。

[编辑] 探索頻道在美國
探索頻道美國在1985年啟播，其目標是為了紀錄人的另外一面，和為人打來特別的節目。其節目覆蓋科學、歷史、自然、科技、探險、偵查和探究等層面。
《911事件勇氣航班》(FLIGHT 93: THE FLIGHT THAT FOUGHT BACK)—探索頻道美國第三高收視率節目—在"9/11"事件後四週年播出In 2005, FLIGHT 93: THE FLIGHT THAT FOUGHT BACK garnered the third highest ratings in Discovery Channel history. The program, which aired on the fourth anniversary of 9/11, told the heroic story of the 40 passengers and crew aboard United Airlines Flight 93, who courageously fought the hijackers of their plane to save our nation from further deaths and destruction on that fateful day.
Also coming in 2005, Oscar®-winning director James Cameron leads his team of underwater experts on a series of historic dives to the deepest spaces of the world's most famous shipwreck in the enthralling special, LAST MYSTERIES OF THE TITANIC.
Chronicling the country's infatuation with pop culture goods from 1950 to today, the Discovery Channel introduces POP NATION: AMERICA'S COOLEST STUFF, which scours the country to check into fans' obsessions with memorabilia, brands and keepsakes that have defined our country.
Planet Earth, premiering in 2006, is the ultimate portrait of the natural wonders of our planet. It is the follow up to the 2002 special, Blue Planet, from the BBC globally acclaimed Natural History Unit. It combines never before filmed animal and extraordinary behavior sequences with breathtaking views of some of the world's most remote and wild places. Each program visits a different habitat from caves to mountain tops, from the Arctic regions to the deep oceans and from deserts to rain forests.
NEW SERIES
Capitalizing on the channel's signature attributes of quality storytelling about the world around us, several new series will debut in 2005. Each one brings a decidedly Discovery look to its subjects, which include filthy occupations, fearless firefighters, renegade crab fishermen and extraordinary insights into world topics.
In the feisty DIRTY JOBS, host and everyman Mike Rowe gets the grimy scoop on downright nasty occupations. The featured "foul play for pay" could be processing smelly seafood in a fish factory, collecting bat guano for prized fertilizer, combing creek bottoms for edible wildlife, or cleaning septic tanks to maintain a fresh-smelling environment.
Stories blaze with everyday bonding and pulse-pounding action in FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON. As action and grit take over, viewers get up-close, personal and accurate accounts of what a firefighter's life is really like. By delving into the personal and professional lives of these firefighters, viewers are treated to images of camaraderie and friendship among grizzled veterans, wide-eyed rookies and seasoned pros alike.
Alaskan crab fishermen fight the most dangerous working conditions — including 40-foot waves and winds reaching 80 miles per hour — in the gripping 10-part series DEADLIEST CATCH. Deep in the Bering Sea's frigid waters, 250 boats tempt fate and nature in "The Last Rodeo," trying to bring in a season's catch of the highly coveted — and lucrative — Alaska king crab.
Also new in 2005, GOING TRIBAL follows former Royal Marine and expedition leader Bruce Parry as he dines with former cannibals in West Papua, experiences painful skin-cutting rituals in Ethiopia and tests the physical limits of living with ancient tribes in uncharted parts of the world.
RETURNING SERIES
Discovery Channel's established series continue to attract new viewers. American Chopper, Monster Garage, Mythbusters and Monster House offer viewers science, engineering and true craftsmanship delivered in entertaining and exciting ways.
Discovery Channel's series of contextual documentaries bring incisive analysis and insight from world leaders and renowned hosts on the most critical issues of the day. This forum — one of a select few of its type on American television — tackles topics with in-depth perspective and discernment.
DARING DOCUMENTARIES
Discovery Docs, Discovery Channel's theatrical documentary unit, broke ground again in 2005 with GRIZZLY MAN, which received vast critical acclaim. The documentary follows the vigorous life and gruesome death of Timothy Treadwell, a wildlife preservationist and amateur grizzly bear expert whose fatal attack by a grizzly made wrenching national news.
In 2005, Discovery Channel won a Peabody Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, two International Wildlife Film Festival Awards. 探索頻道在美國主要播放與機械和流行科學有關的節目，如美式重型機車(American Chopper)、流言終結者(MythBusters)和"Monster Garage"等節目，超出最初只集中於科學的範圍；也因為如此可以看到探索頻道播放的是資訊娛樂，而非教育電視。
美國探索網絡在美國的探索頻道跌出十大最受歡迎頻道和連續兩年低評分之後，已決定將美國探索頻道回覆到原有的定位。美國探索網絡副主席"Chris Moseley"表示，頻道將會回覆到原有的目標，播放有趣的教育科學節目。
在2006年1月4日，美國探索網絡宣佈"Ted Koppel"，資深執行製片人"Tom Bettag"和八個前"Nightline"(美國廣播公司其中一節新聞報導)職員會加入探索頻道。
美國探索網絡在當地除探索頻道外，還擁有多條同系列頻道。 詳情請參考探索通信

[编辑] 探索頻道在全球
探索頻道覆蓋全球超過160個國家、4億5千萬個家庭。探索頻道及其同系列頻道均在多個國家為多個版本頻道配上字幕和當地語言。 詳情請參考探索通信
[编辑] 探索頻道在亞洲
探索頻道在亞洲由亞洲探索網絡經營。除了原有的探索頻道亞洲版，亞洲探索網絡還開設了探索頻道台灣版、探索頻道澳洲版、探索頻道紐西蘭版、探索頻道日本版、探索頻道韓國版和探索頻道印度版。探索頻道亞洲除了與其他同系列頻道一樣，為各個版本配上當地字幕外，部份探索頻道節目更配上當地語言，以麗音廣播節目，包括翻譯成廣東話、普通話、日語、韓語等。
探索頻道亞洲的節目
探索頻道亞洲的節目除了與探索頻道美國一樣，播放有關機械和流行科學有關的節目之外，還會播放由探索通信制作給不同美國同系列頻道的節目，這是因為亞洲探索網絡的頻道數目遠較美國探索網絡的少。另外，一些新的特輯如空中巴士A380的節目"Giant of the Skies: Building the Airbus A380"，也會先在探索頻道播放，再於其他頻道重放。與探索頻道美國分別最大的是探索頻道亞洲會播放亞洲區的專輯，如《台灣人物誌》(Portraits Taiwan)系列、《新加坡的歷史》(The History of Singapore)系列和其他中華文化節目等，這些節目在其他探索頻道播放比率是較少的。
[编辑] 市場與品牌
Shortly before the 2004 Tour de France, the Discovery Channel company announced it would become the primary sponsor of the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team starting in 2005, featuring seven-time champion Lance Armstrong. The Discovery Channel has also used a variety of guerrilla techniques to promote their shows.
The Bloodhound Gang song, The Bad Touch, makes humorous references to the Discovery Channel.
