Discovery Channel moved

Elizabeth Dziva, public relations manager of MultiChoice Zimbabwe, said Discovery’s move into mainstream entertainment reflected its position as the world’s leading entertainment channel based entirely on factual content.
“The move into general entertainment section of DStv is testament to the true power of Discovery Channel’s programming ability to entertain global audiences and transcend viewing genres. World-class talent presents the ‘high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled’ programming that is the basis of Discovery’s success around the world.”
Discovery Channel’s high-profile position will ensure that it remains top of mind for viewers, and places it at the forefront of DStv’s coveted general entertainment viewing options, with brand-defining series such as Ultimate Survival, American Chopper, Deadliest Catch and American Loggers taking centre stage.
Designed for viewers with a keen interest in the world around them, Discovery World delivers informative content that opens up the most inspiring, intriguing and unattainable parts of the world to viewers. Its programming is centred on high-end documentaries and immersive series, including Solving Olly Seeds, Man On Earth, Treasure Quest, Danger Hunters and President’s Sundays.
Discovery had earlier bolstered its southern African portfolio with the launch of Discovery HD Showcase on the DStv HD platform. This made Discovery the first international broadcaster to offer an entirely HD channel in the region and southern African viewers are now enjoying their favourite Discovery shows from across a portfolio of channels exclusively in HD.
