Discovery Kids Channel

Discovery Kids Channel (formerly known as The Discovery Kids Network, World of Discovery Kids, and then Discovery Kids Universe and also known as Discovery Kids TV outside of USA) is an American digital cable and satellite television channel owned by Discovery Inc.'s sister company Discovery Kids Inc., with a minority ownership held by Hasbro and Viacom. It is related to Discovery Family. 
The network was launched on May 17, 2011, like The Discovery Kids Network, the second spin-off of Discovery Channel that featured the debut of the Discovery Kids TV series aimed toward kids aged between 7 and 16. The network succeeded Fun Kids Channel. On June 2011, Hasbro, along with Viacom, announced a joint venture with Discovery to re-launch The Discovery Kids Network as The World of Discovery Kids (later Discovery Kids Universe) on August 23, 2012. Hasbro and Viacom handled programming, while Discovery handled distribution and advertising sales. The World of Discovery Kids was intended to be a general, youth-oriented network with a "diverse" lineup, primarily featuring the second season reboot of Discovery Kids, called Discovery Kids: A Voyager's New Life.
On October 15, 2014, following reports earlier in the year that Discovery Kids Universe president Margaret Loesch would step down by the end of the year, Discovery acquired 10% of Hasbro's stake in the network, and replaced Loesch with Henry Schleiff, who will lead the channel's sister networks such as Discovery Kids' Ready to Travel. On November 27, 2015, Discovery Kids Universe was re-branded as Discovery Kids Channel; Hasbro remains a minority partner and programs the network's lineup, while Viacom replaced its original slogan, "Have Fun, Play Along, and Learn About New Things in the World of Discovery Kids", with its new slogan, "Where Adventures Are Your Number One Destination!", which fits the channel better.
