- Discovery People was an American cable television network. The channel was launched on March 31, 1997 by CBS as CBS Eye on People, and featured news and human interest stories from CBS News. The channel suffered significant losses, in part because few cable providers were willing to carry it. By the end of its first year on the air, it was only available in 11 million homes, less than half of what most cable channels need to turn a profit. In mid-1998, it was announced that Discovery Communications would buy 50 percent of the channel and take operational control. It dropped "CBS" from its title to become simply Eye on People. On January 11, 1999, Discovery bought the network from CBS Corporation and renamed it Discovery People. Discovery continued to license programming from CBS, combining it with some of its own programming. Discovery Communications began gradually phasing out Discovery People's operations, using Discovery People's distribution for other networks. For DirecTV customers, the channel was replaced by Discovery Health on December 1, 1999. In February 2000, Discovery announced that they intended to pull the plug on the channel. (en)
- Discovery People foi uma rede norte-americana de televisão a cabo. O canal foi lançado em 31 de março de 1997 pela CBS como CBS Eye on People, e apresentava notícias e histórias de interesse humano da CBS News. O canal sofreu perdas significativas, em parte porque poucos provedores de cabo estavam dispostos a carregá-lo. Ao final de seu primeiro ano no ar, ele estava disponível em apenas 11 milhões de lares, menos da metade do que a maioria dos canais a cabo precisa para ter lucro. Em meados de 1998, foi anunciado que a Discovery Communications compraria 50% do canal e assumiria o controle operacional. Neste período, removeu "CBS" de seu título para se tornar simplesmente Eye on People. Em 11 de janeiro de 1999, a Discovery comprou a rede da CBS Corporation e a renomeou como Discovery People. A Discovery continuou a licenciar a programação da CBS, combinando-a com parte de sua própria programação. A Discovery Communications começou a remover gradualmente as operações do Discovery People, utilizando a distribuição do canal para outras redes. Para clientes da DirecTV, o canal foi substituído pelo Discovery Health em 1 de dezembro de 1999. Em fevereiro de 2000, a Discovery anunciou a extinção do canal. (pt)
