Discovery Networks U.S., a privately owned entity headquartered in the United States, operates as the flagship linear and digital channel group of Warner Bros. Discovery, under its parent company WBD Networks (Discovery). The company, which originated with the launch of the Discovery Channel in 1985, employs approximately 35,500 individuals and reported $37.3B in revenue as of 2025. Functioning primarily in broadcast television and radio, the company specializes in delivering non-fiction, lifestyle, factual, and real-life entertainment across American television and digital streaming platforms. Its portfolio has expanded significantly through major acquisitions, including Scripps Networks Interactive in 2018 and the merger with WarnerMedia in 2022, positioning it as one of the largest media networks in North America.
On September 18, 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) initiated the 19th edition of its flagship School Contact Programme in India, which began in August, engaging 1 million children across 1,400 schools in 18 cities through POGO and Cartoon Network. Concurrently, Paramount considered relocating its operations from California, a move sources close to the company indicate it is serious about, as its legal battle intensifies regarding the proposed $156 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. This threat emerged amidst an antitrust case pursued by California Attorney-General Rob Bonta and 11 other states seeking to block the merger. Previously, on September 17, the FCC signed off on equity investments from three prominent Middle East sovereign wealth funds backing Paramount’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, removing a potential regulatory hurdle. Earlier the same day, Warner Bros. Discovery returned to the top of Nielsen’s Polish cross-platform viewing ranking for August, surpassing Polsat and TVP following the end of summer sporting events.
