On January 4, 2006, Discovery Communications announced
anchor Ted
Koppel, executive
producer Tom Bettag and eight other former Nightline staff were
joining Discovery Channel.
The network's ratings recovered in 2006, after a drop widely attributed to an
over-reliance on a few hit series such as Monster Garage and American Chopper.
Some critics said such shows strayed from
Discovery's mold of helping
viewers learn about the world around them. In 2005, Discovery changed its
lineup to focus on themes of popular
science and history.
The
network was nominated for seven Primetime
Emmy Awards in 2006 for shows including The Flight that Fought Back about United
Airlines Flight 93 and Deadliest Catch about crabs.
