Discovery Kids Channel (on July 2006, it started a primetime block called @DK) is an American digital cable television channel, owned by Discovery Communications with programming for education of children. Discovery Kids broadcasted a Saturday morning "E/I" programming lineup for children called Discovery Kids on NBC, which ran from September 2002 through September 2, 2006, when NBC ended the partnership and created a new E/I block called qubo.

Its Canadian equivalent is operated in partnership with Corus Entertainment.

In 2002, Discovery Kids began airing a reality television show entitled Endurance. The show is similar in nature to Survivor, whereby teams compete in exotic locales (such as Hawaii and Tehachapi) and, as of 2005, is in its fourth season.

In the United Kingdom, the channel initially began broadcasting exclusively on the On Digital service time sharing with Discovery Wings; the channel eventually became available on other digital platforms such as Sky Digital.

[edit] Trivia

DK is the only Discovery digital network to not have its name changed in any major way.
