Discovery Channel Europe is the Pan-European version of the Discovery Channel.
Over the years, the Discovery Channel has been split into many different channels for specific regions. Most language regions in Western Europe now have their own versions of the channel, and the Pan-European is therefore now mostly available in countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
The channel is broadcast from the United Kingdom and holds an Ofcom license. The channel was registered as "Discovery Channel Europe" up until August 2006, when it changed its name to "Discovery (Central & Eastern Europe inc. Russia)".
Discovery Channel Europe was launched from the UK in 1989. It launched on the Astra satellite in 1993. Eventually it split into different channel for different markets, such as Discovery Channel Benelux, Discovery Channel UK and Discovery Channel Nordic. Some of the countries that still receive the European version are Greece, Cyprus, the Balkans and the Baltic states.
Discovery Channel Netherlands is a Dutch television channel. Its primary target is men aged 25-39.

The Dutch Discovery Channel distinguishes itself from other versions by having broadcast live sports events. In late November it broadcast three matches from the Eredivisie. The highest rated of these matches was seen by 805,000 viewers.
In August 2009, the channel switched to the 16:9 widescreen format.
Animal Planet Benelux is also widely available in Netherlands. Discovery Science, Discovery World, Investigation Discovery and Discovery HD are also available in the Netherlands, but they are only distributed digitally.

In the beginning it was available to 156,000 households and would broadcast for 12 hours between 3 p.m. and 3 a.m. with about 75 percent of the content new to American viewers.John Hendricks is credited with founding of the channel and its parent company, then known as Cable Educational Network Inc, in 1982.
Ha ha, well now, we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about
I'd appreciate your input
Sweat baby, sweat baby
Sex is a Texas drought me
And you do the kind of stuff
That only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants
And I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes, I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert
And you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two hand touch
You want it rough, you're out of bounds
I want to you smothered, want you covered
Like my waffle house, hash, browns
Comin' quicker than Fed Ex
Never reaching apex like Coca Cola stock
You are inclined to make me rise an hour early
Just like daylight savings time
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt
Only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics
Let me be specific
I wanna be down in your south seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean
Means small craft advisory
So if I capsize on your thighs, high tide
B 5, you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on
I?m Mr.Cofee with an automatic drip
So show me yours, I?ll show you mine
Tool time, you?ll love it just like Lyle
And then we?ll do it doggy style
So we can both watch X-files
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
So let?s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
You and me baby, ain?t nothin? but mammals
