Its CEO David Zaslav was the one who got the idea of such a channel and founded it in his 30s
When was discovery channel formed? In 1985, but you can refer to it as simply Discovery. Is it government owned? No actually, it is television property of Discovery Communications, a publicly traded company. Thats awesome. Who founded the company?
