Discovery Science was launched in October 1996 as a part Discovery's new suite of four digital channels that were rolled out simultaneously.[1] Plans for the new networks were announced in November 1994. Back then the channel's working name was "Quark!", but that was changed before launch.[2]
The name was changed to The Science Channel in 2002 only in United States. A complete "makeover" took place in April 2003, airing newer and more up-to-date television programming.
An 1080i high definition simulcast called Science Channel HD was launched September 1, 2007, along with Discovery Channel HD, TLC HD and Animal Planet HD.
In December 2007, Science Channel debuted a brand new on-air look and changed its logo to an element box that is colored orange and white.
On June 8, 2011 it dropped "Channel" from its name and launched a new logo. [3]
International versions of Science Channel are transmitted in South East Asia, Europe, The UK, Sweden, Canada, Latin America and Australia as Discovery Science.
Science broadcasts a number of science-related television series and films originally produced by or aired on Discovery Channel, e.g. Beyond Tomorrow, among some others. There have also been a few television programs produced for Science , such as MegaScience and What The Ancients Knew. Programs from other Discovery Networks, PBS and the BBC are either regularly or occasionally aired. Television series produced in the 1990s, e.g. Discover Magazine, and Understanding, can be viewed on weekdays. Science also broadcasts programs such as "Moments of Impact" and "An Idiot Abroad."
