Discovery Family Undergoes A Major Restructure And Unveils New Rebranded Logo

Also Read

Not to be mistaken with the factual entertainment channel of the same name on MultiChoice's DStv platform. Discovery Family which is also operated by Warner Bros. Discovery in a joint venture with Hasbro is responsible for the distribution of various kids shows and other educational content. 

Not long ago, Discovery Family updated its social platforms to unveil a new on air look with the name shortened to DFC. Basically taking a page of Boomerang and Boing feeds, the channel offers various content from Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios.

As pictured above, these includes shows like Summer Camp Island, Steven Universe,  The Smurfs, Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries and Looney Tunes while as returning the Hasbro portion of the brand with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. 

What's more mind boggling about this is the fact that Warner Bros. Discovery had already been licensing content to Weigel Broadcasting for their own kids channel, MeTV Toons. The financially challenged company is basically creating rivaling amongst their own stables. 

Aside from Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera, MeTV Toons is even licensing content from Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures and MGM. This would make them an even stronger contender against the likes of Boomerang and Nicktoons whose offering has fallen off the scale.

Skydance is currently undergoing a potential takeover of Paramount Global with Warner Bros. Discovery exploring a possible split in assets. If anything, they don't care as much if MeTV Toons is luring consumers from their own channels as its all about money.

The rebrand of Discovery Family or DFC only illustrates the amount of division/dependency Warner Bros. Discovery gives these brands. Take for instance, Cartoon Network that's still runs a 24 hour service in other countries while America minimized this for Adult Swim.

Although Discovery Family runs as a children's channel some other countries operate this as Discovery Kids then Africa offers a channel of the same name with different programming. In short, where is the alignment in all this as you have 2/3 different channels with the same name.

Disney relies on ESPN for sports with factual entertainment on National Geographic while Paramount has reality and animation on MTV and Nickelodeon respectively. Then there's Warner changing the positioning of a TV channel from country to country.

Could Discovery Family And Real Time Also Be Going Dark Following The Termination Of Discovery Science And Discovery Turbo Xtra?

Also Read

During the week, it was reported that Warner Bros. Discovery would be ending Discovery Science and also Discovery Turbo Xtra across various international markets (including Africa) meaning similar to the remaining Disney Channels in Asia they won't live through 2024.

Prior to these Discovery channels demise, Warner Bros. Discovery had quietly removed any mentions of "Brand New" from their promos with Discovery Family and Real Time both of which are residing on Zuku and MultiChoice's DStv across Africa had undergone a similar route.

Unlike Discovery Science, Discovery Family and Real Time continue to update their offering. I would be lying if I didn't say Warner had made changes to the channel that would question their very existence.

Few years back, Warner would licence content exclusively for these channels particularly The Carbonaro Effect and The Marilyn Denis Show but now both channels exist to rehash content from Discovery Channel, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery and HGTV.

On top of that, there's no marketing going towards these brands particularly content viewed on them. Considering these channels are a priority to both Warner and the viewers, you'd expect consistency. Although the latter is just repeats they are consumers actually viewing the content.

Some of these viewers may get attached to some of the content and would want to keep tabs. Warner's failure to just promote these shows would further distance viewers from the channel or better yet affect the performance as mentioning these shows would keep viewers onboard.

As to whether Real Time and Discovery Family could be going dark in the region as seen with Disney's offering in Asia and Warner's offering in Europe - that's kind of quo.

After what happened to Boomerang, Warner may look at ways of trying to keep the content intact without negatively impacting the viewers. Perhaps a merger/rebranding of the channels is what awaits for them in future or if a closure is inevitable perhaps a substitute like Discovery Channel and TLC.

In all honesty, Real Time looks more lively and upbeat than Discovery Family (with its large chunk of Discovery Channel) as it inherits content from Food Network, HGTV and Investigation Discovery with very little investment coming from TLC and Animal Planet.

Could Cartoonito Channel Rollout In The United States Before 2025 Perhaps As A Replacement To Discovery Family?

Also Read

In 2022, WarnerMedia and Discovery Inc. formalised their formation into Warner Bros. Discovery which led to a lot of outrage from consumers following the cutback of staff and content and 2023 is where they look to start a new chapter.

We have shows like Tiny Toons Looniversity and Gremlins: The Secret Of Mowgai on Cartoon Network with My Adventures With Superman and Unicorn Warriors Eternal on Adult Swim all of which will be available to the revamped Max streaming service.

With questions surrounding the future of Cartoonito USA after garnering popularity internationally and on HBO Max. It was reported that some of Warner Bros. content such as Baby Looney Tunes and Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries would be made available to Discovery Family.

Although, this doesn't mean much at this point there's a lot of speculation amongst consumers that Discovery Family would unfold on Cartoonito as Hasbro is looking to sell their stake on the channel with the latter expected to continue until March 2025.

Now the idea of Cartoonito replacing Discovery Family doesn't seem like a completely bad idea as seen with Boomerang in the affected region as the content kind of aligns itself to the current demographic being preschoolers or as seen in the EMEA region, family.

Following this merger, I presume Discovery would want to work on factual and lifestyle oriented programming which is what Discovery Family lacks in the United States leaving the door open for a potential takeover for Cartoonito as Warner handles the kids offering.
