CBS Eye on People

• When this channel first launched (in 1997), it was called CBS Eye on People, and was predominantly run by CBS News. One famous program was "60 Minutes More". Fittingly, its logo was a stylized face with the CBS eye, and a stylized "p" juxtaposed into it.

The Discovery Channel Cometh...

In 1998, under increasing financial woes and barely a year of operating EOP, CBS sold the channel to Discovery, who axed 60 Minutes More, and changed the channel's name to Discovery People, and altered the "face" logo, replacing the CBS eye with the Discovery globe.

The rise and fall of Civilization

In 1999, another name change came, "Discovery Civilization". Then, blah blah, and yeah, Discovery, New York Times blah blah blah...

Anyone remember CBS Eye on/Discovery People? WizardDuck 16:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Channel focus?

What is the focus of the channel? The programming of the past and future versions of the channel are described, but not "Discovery Times" itself. 220.253.112.193 (talk) 13:17, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Investigation Discovery

When Discovery Times becomes Investigation Discovery, should this page be moved to the new name or keep this article how it is and create a new page for Investigation Discovery? I think it should be the latter since this will be like a new network. 53180 (talk) 18:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)53180.

Do you have the logos of CBS Eye on People and Discovery People?

Do you, by any chance, happen to have the logos of CBS Eye on People and Discovery People? If you do, could you please upload them for me so that I'll put them in the logo gallery section of this page? AdamDeanHall (talk) 20:31, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Discovery People and Discovery Civilization

Are there any sources that indicate that this channel was once CBS Eye on people/Discovery People which was rebranded as Discovery Civilization? I have found lots of sources that indicate that Discovery Civilization was launched back in 1996 and that the two channel coexisted for quite some time. It appears that Discovery People continued operating until 2000 after Discovery had pushed operators to switch for Discovery Health instead, and that Discovery People quietly closed down thereafter.

Whatever happened to CBS Eye on People?

Whatever happened to CBS Eye on People? Where did it go? AdamDeanHall (talk) 22:14, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I made a mistake

Discovery Civilization is not actually the successor to Discovery People, Discovery Health Channel was. I did what I did based all on personal memory, and I apologize for screwing up. (I didn't even know any of this until about a year ago, by way of a trudge through HighBeam Research). I'll help fix the article. - WizardDuck (talk) 23:54, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Genre?

The genre on here should be true crime but the style is documentary style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.89.236 (talk) 12:10, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Investigation Discovery → ID (American TV channel) – It seems that following the recent logo change two years ago, the network has put more of a focus on branding itself as "ID". Along with the international variants, I propose renaming the article to "ID" to reflect the shift in its branding. JE98 (talk) 20:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

• Citations needed Before adopting the subject's rebranding, we need to see if independent and reliable sources have also switched over. This is the principle for all WP:NAMECHANGES. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 22:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose first, a logo change along is not enough. Reliable sources as well as their own interstitials still use "Investigation Discovery". Also, even if there were to be a shift, then WP:NATURALDIS is preferable. -- Netoholic @ 09:48, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose the company website still is listed as investigationdescovery.com, as is there Instagram account, and Facebook page.Sheehanpg93 (talk) 17:17, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose per MOS:ACROTITLE we don't usually abbreviate especially per Netoholic when ambiguous. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:06, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

On Case With Paula Zahn

I love this show but since the new season started I’m finding that the show flips to too many scenes very fast and it’s quite irritating 2600:1702:3900:9A50:3592:9908:E484:173A (talk) 04:46, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
