Discovery Family (United Republics)

Discovery Family is an Atlansian cable television channel co-owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and Hasbro Entertainment.

The channel was originally launched by Discovery Communications on October 7, 1996 as Discovery Kids, a spin-off of Discovery Channel which primarily featured science and nature-themed programming aimed towards a youth audience. In 2010, Discovery Kids was relaunched as The Hub (later Hub Network) as part of a joint venture with Hasbro. The relaunch pivoted the channel towards a general entertainment format, with dayparts targeting preschool, youth, and family audiences respectively. Some of its original programming would include adaptations of Hasbro-owned properties, such as Family Game Night and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

In 2014, the network was rebranded as Discovery Family; at that time, Discovery began programming the channel's primetime schedule with family-oriented factual programming (including Discovery library programs), while leaving Hasbro responsible for programming its daytime schedule as a minority partner.
