Discovery Science is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by Discovery Science Canada Company, a subsidiary of CTV Specialty Television Inc. (a joint venture between Bell Media and ESPN Inc.) in partnership with Discovery Civilization North America, Inc., a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery airing science-related programming.
Founded on August 15, 2001 as Discovery Civilization Channel, the channel has adopted its current name and format in 2010 despite a number of ownership changes.
Bell Media will lose the rights to the Discovery Science brand and its U.S. programming at the end of 2024, at which time the channel will relaunch as CTV Nature Channel, with a mix of programs related to science, nature, and history. Rogers Sports & Media will take over the Canadian rights to Discovery Science programming, primarily distributing it through its streaming and on-demand platforms.
