Discovery Channel went on the air in 1984 and is owned by Discovery Communications, which also owns TLC (formerly The Learning Channel) and Animal Planet. The Discovery Channel has added programming like American Chopper and Monster Garage that widens their initial scope.
Discovery Channel also has a multiplex of digital channels: Discovery Times (operated in association with The New York Times), Discovery Health, Discovery Home & Leisure, Discovery Kids, Discovery Wings, Discovery Times, Discovery Science, Discovery Travel & Adventure and Discovery Civilization.
In a number of countries Discovery channels are available on digital satellite platforms with multiple language soundtracks or subtitles. For example, subscribers of Cyfra+ in Poland, at an extra $2 per month, can now switch between four Discovery channels with two language soundtracks: the original English or the native Polish soundtrack. In Bulgaria Discovery is, since a few years, displayed with Bulgarian subtitles by all cable providers.
