News > Discovery Channel Losing its Grip
May 18, 2007
Say it ain't so! The National Geographic of T.V. stations seems to have fallen on hard times. seems to have it on good authority that the channel will be closing over 100 of its physical stores, and "downsizing" 1,000 of its employees right out of a job. The Discovery stores are famous for hawking all kinds of exciting swag, including books about dinosaurs and the physics of air flight. Without Discovery stores, this knowledge will surely be lost on the coming generation of American youth. The great dinosaur denial campaign has begun. The 1,000 job cuts amount to 25% of the company's worldwide workforce, making it a downsizing of rather epic proportions. Discovery assures us that this will have no effect on the channel's programming, but we somehow don't have a whole lot of faith.
