 The channel airs similar programming to its U.S. counterpart, but also airs domestically-produced programs to comply with local broadcasting regulations (which, in the past, included the daily science newsmagazine "Daily Planet" cancelled in 2018).Some of its original series (such as, most prominently, "How It's Made") have been picked up in the U.S. by Discovery's sister networks (such as Science Channel), but others have not necessarily aired on Discovery's networks.Since 2018, the channel has increasingly aired blocks of fiction programming with science- or technology-oriented themes.
