Discovery Channel is professional, and should stay that way. Take off any drama shows.please.
John and Kate, Sarah Palin, and other celebrities should not be entwined with the harmony of Discovery. Then it'll be Dollywood, not REAL, FACTUAL and CLEAN.

I am glad Kate is coming back with the children as it was a good show without all the divorce garbage. I also heard you might be considering Jon in own show. Please don't as it will have a negative impact on Kate's new show and bring up negative print. Let our station stay as our station, clean and not promoting negativity but quality programs. Jon and Kate was fun to watch before the divorce but Jon's negative actions pulled it into the arena of general television opinions of people who failed to watch it from the beginning.

A nature show hosted by Sarah Palin is a very bad idea. Not only will it be inaccurate, but she is very anti-preservation. The woman's idea of hunting is shooting moose from a plane, for crying out loud. How challenging is that? Please, no Sarah Palin. I love Discovery, but would definitely tune that OUT.

SARAH PALIN'S ALASKA . . . to bad for this beautiful state. She's done more harm than good for that state.

I don't think it's right that your allowing someone who actively supported dangerous drilling for oil in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, escalated the brutal aerial strikes on native wolves, and fought increased protections for Endangered Whales and America's dwindling Polar Bear population to be the spokesperson for a show that showcases nature, when the person violated it so much.

I see the Change.org people are following their marching orders and attacking S. Palin here.
I am looking forward to "Sarah Palin's Alaska" and believe a little balance in programming is a good think, for viewers and Discovery Communications.

I am disappointed and appalled by Discovery Communication's decision to produce and air Sarah Palin's Alaska. As governor, Sarah Palin championed a bloody aerial wolf-slaughter campaign that continues even now. Palin also fought against increased protections for struggling Cook Inlet beluga whales and America's only populations of polar bears.
As parent company of Animal Planet, The Discovery Channel and TLC, and known for your wildlife-focused productions, I hope that you will reconsider your decision to partner with such a terribly anti-wildlife and politically divisive persona as Sarah Palin.

"Opinion is the result of thought, not a substitute for it." Anonymous
I, too, am appalled that the Discovery Channel would sully its reputation by associating Palin with a program about Alaska's wildlife. Ignorance and stupidity should NOT be glorified or rewarded. Is someone powerful at Discovery Communications "on the take" or have something else to gain by showcasing Palin? Your initiative and support of this issue is a travesty and betrayal of everything Discovery Channel and your corporation professes to champion and stand for. Instead, it smacks of politics and greed. This reflects poorly upon your entire organization, and your reputation will be suspect and tarnished going forward.

Drop Sarah Palin's new show from your lineup please. To have such an anti-wildlife and polarizing figure to represent the "beauty of Alaska" is outrageous to say the least. She could care less about protecting animals and environment; her agenda is making money for herself & evangelizing her far right beliefs.

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?

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.
