I just heard we are going to have to endure Kate Gossilin again. That ship has sailed. Move on to something worth while. Kates 15 minutes have passed. What kind of statement do you make to people who are struggling in these times, when she get a free $7000. hair do. Come on add some heart warming things to your station.

Too much with the Christian agenda. John and Kate should go, horrible. Another example of a bad marrage Roloffs. What a juxtaposition to the advertising for shows that contain disasters, murders, destruction.
Do you have an adjenda?

Thank you for your Rose Bowl Parade coverage--it was the most professional and enjoyable of the three network options.

I ENJOY WATCHING MANY OF THE PROGRAMS ON DISCOVERY & TLC, BUT WATCHED A BAR-B-Q PITMASTERS COOKOFF AT MESQUITE, NEVADA LAST NIGHT AND COULD HARDLY STAND ALL OF THE "F" WORDS THROWN ABOUT BY THE CONTESTANTS, MAINLY MYRON NIXON. A SHOW LIKE THIS IS NO PLACE FOR THAT LANGUAGE. SURE, IT WAS BLEEPED OUT, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO NOT KNOW WHAT WAS SAID.

I watched the first season of jon and kate + 8. It was interesting to see how one would cope with having six babies at one time. Now it is a travisty. I beg you to please stop being a partner in the exploitation of these children. It is so disgusting. It is criminal to particapate in such a blatant quest for money. It sickens me. Please stop!

Please bring back Kate plus 8. I really enjoyed the episodes with Kate and the kids only.

August 4, 2009 -- Discovery Communications, Inc. today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

David Zaslav, Discovery's President and Chief Executive Officer, said "Discovery's second quarter results demonstrate our ability to execute on our business plan and strategic initiatives in a difficult operating environment.

We delivered 12% ratings growth across our domestic networks and increased international subscribers 11% while offsetting our continued investment in programming with reductions to the selling, general and administrative cost base. The result was demonstrable operating leverage, with Adjusted OIBDA growth of 13% despite the challenging economy and adverse foreign currency fluctuations. At the same time, we took several strategic steps to better position the Company including partnering with Hasbro on a new children's venture and monetizing an underutilized part of our valuable distribution platform. We also considerably strengthened our balance sheet, paying down $772 million in debt and reducing our leverage to 2.5 times, providing us additional financial flexibility. While the operating environment remains uncertain, with a strengthened balance sheet, operational momentum and sustained operating leverage, we expect to continue to deliver on our commitments to shareholders in the second half of 2009."

Second quarter revenues of $881 million were down slightly compared with the second quarter a year ago as 2% growth at U.S. Networks was offset by a 5% decline at International Networks, primarily the result of a $34 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations.

I would liek to know if TLC, and DIscovery communications are in a very sly manner taking and pushing a pro life stance as they show all these shows with multiple children, john and kate, the duggers, the roloffs are all Cristians. Nothing wrong with these people being Cristian, but the channel is somehow pushng a pro life slant in the guise of endearing entertainment. kind of slick and creepy!

Cowards, is what you are. Afraid of a little truth? I bet you'd show an episode of 24.

When people complain of too many Jews in media - it's because of stealth Jewish ownership. Ethnic politics keeps movies like Taxi to the Dark Side - out of the public eye.

Crimes against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and Iraqis are what caused 9/11 - and guess who committed those crimes? And our government is also infiltrated and controlled by these same Jews with loyalties to Israel over the USA.

History tells us that Jews have been expelled and mistreated throughout history - what history books delete are the REASONS people expelled Jews from their societies. And guess who changed those textbooks?

We are at war with Islam and Muslims all over the world because of the influence exerted over our government and media by Jews - treasonous Jews who work for Israel and against American interests.

David Zaslav? Let me guess.

He's one of those nasty Muslim people, right?

The ones that hate our freedums?

Since the executives at Discover have neither the courage nor sense of civic duty to show Taxi to the Dark Side, how about seeing that it gets in the hand of a channel that does? Sometime before the next election might ne nice.

Just two things, first TLC IS HORRIBLE!! I, remember when TLC used to be interesting, with a diverse and stimulating selection of documentaries i.e. "7 WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD",and "GREAT BOOKS". NOW most of your programs have to do with HAVING A BABY, BRINGING UP A BABY, GETTING MARRIED, OR THE LIFE AT A TATTOO SHOP. If I wanted to watch that, I, would have watched the "WE" channel, or "LIFETIME". BORING! I, also HATE your "NEW" Discovery ID. If I wanted to watch that, I, would have the old "COURT TV" channel.

It is so disappointng that you reversed your decision to broadcast "Taxi to the Dark Side" The film needs and deserves to be shown widely. America needs and deserves disclosure and information. How else can we make sound public policy. You have done your country no favors. Viva PBS

If you're not going to show it then sell it to someone who will...some network that doesn't bow to the political pressure and withhold critical info that this country needs to see in order to regain it's reputation. Is this network about "Discovery" or cover-up and profit? What a disappointment - No more Discovery for me!

Why buy the rights if you didn't like the content? Don't tell me you spent all that money BEFORE you watched the film! Either your people were incompetent, or you deliberately bought it up to prevent it from being broadcast in the first place. Neither option makes your company look very good. Now you have a black eye, and the internet will do your job for you. Trust me. Where there's a will, the movie will be shown.

The decision of the executives of Discovery Communications Inc. to buy the rights to the Oscar nominated and critically acclaimed film 'Taxi to the Dark Side' and then deep-six it is, at the least, yet another glowing example of both corporate cravenness and gross mismanagement. Tomorrow, I'm selling all mutual funds I own which hold Discovery Communication Inc. stocks and bonds.

Your decision to not air the movie "Taxi To The Dark Side" is very disappointing. Since you are not going to air the movie, please release your rights so that some other, braver, channel can air it.
