Discovery Channel Canada has an ownership structure different from Discovery Channel. Canadian viewers receive almost identical English-language programming to the channel that American viewers watch, but with added Canadian content to meet Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission requirements. Most notably, the Canadian channel carries the daily science news show Daily Planet, originally discovery.ca, the first of its kind. 

Occasionally, several segments on similar topics are taken from various episodes and put together into one-hour specials that are broadcast on the original Discovery Channel. Canadian channels Discovery World HD, Discovery Health, Discovery Science, Investigation Discovery and Animal Planet are also seen.

In the United Kingdom, Discovery Channel UK has some programs in common with the US version, including Myth Busters, American Chopper, How It's Made and Deadliest Catch. The channel is carried as a basic subscription channel on digital satellite SKY and digital cable Virgin Media. 

Discovery UK also operates many additional channels Discovery HD, Discovery Knowledge, Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science, Animal Planet, D MAX  Discovery Real Time, Discovery Home & Health, Discovery Travel & Leisure and Discovery Shed. Many of these channels also have time shifted versions.
