It is headquartered at 9 Channel Nine Court in the Agincourt neighbourhood of Scarborough in Toronto, Ontario that is currently airing science-related programming.
Founded on August 15, 2001 as Discovery Civilization Channel, but after mutiple ownership changes, the channel is currently majority-owned and operated by Bell Media, with a 20% share held by Discovery Science Channel's U.S. parent company Discovery Civilization North America, Inc., a subsidiary ofWarner Bros. Discovery, and a minority share also owned by The Walt Disney Company and Hearst Corporation through ESPN Inc. (via the CTV Specialty Television subsidiary, stemming from that subsidiary's ownership of sister network TSN; ESPN is not believed to be involved in the operation of the channel).
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.
