Discovery Adds Video Webcasts to News Service

SILVER SPRING, July 21: Discovery Communications’ Discovery
News website has added video segments to its offering, developing content in
house and inking a deal with Associated Press Television News.

The video segments on the site kick off with footage from paleontologist
Jack Horner’s discovery of the fossil of a baby triceratops’ skull.

The video webcasts are available on www.discoverychannelnews.com, as
well as on www.discovery.com and on the
broadband channel Discovery Channel Beyond (www.discoverychannelbeyond.com).

"Expanding Discovery News into broadband video taps
into the public's confidence in our ability to bring them trusted and timely
factual information about some of the most important topics in the world,"
said Don Baer, the senior executive VP of strategy and development at Discovery
Communications. "To have landed an exclusive story of the magnitude of
Jack Horner's find, and right in the sweet spot of our core DNA of content
strength, demonstrates Discovery's ability to cover breaking real-world news
while expanding ways consumers count on Discovery to bring them the whole
world."

Discovery News will be updated daily with original
short-form video, tapping into its in-house development and editorial team, and
sourcing content from APTN. Other news organization partnerships, as well as
the cultivation of new journalists and personalities, will be announced in the
coming weeks.
