It was responsible for overseeing Discovery International channels in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.[2]

History

It started out with the launch of the Discovery Channel in Europe in 1989 and was for a long time a part of Discovery Networks Europe (DNE). In mid-2007, DNE was split into two separate branches, Discovery Networks UK and Discovery Network EMEA, both headquartered in London.[3] Again in 2011, Discovery Networks Europe was split into two key branches Discovery Networks Western Europe (DNWE) and Discovery Networks CEEMEA (Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa). DNEW is located in London and DNCEMEA in Warsaw.

In November 2014, Discovery Networks Western Europe was split into Discovery Networks Northern Europe and Discovery Networks Southern Europe. Its previous Discovery Networks Western Europe served 30 different countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, the Netherlands and other territories, comprising 18 brands.[4]

It was previously called Discovery Networks Western Europe.

Regional

This network operated in six European languages: a pan-European English speaking channel and channels in Danish, Dutch, English for UK, Ireland and Iceland, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish.

gollark: Hmm. Maybe I should actually work out how to implement highly generalized forms of bias. But *which*?
gollark: It would also have been quite hard to bias it against *lyricly* health, since it was me running the ++choose.
gollark: That's too vague, but roughly what I thought of, yes: use a pretrained language model and treat it as a classification task of some kind.
gollark: Maximum harm is probably wrong, ++choose allows phrases, and that isn't trivial to do anyway.
gollark: Never mind, I know how I would implement that but I don't think it'd be very good.
