Doubtful since it never made money for Discovery, which is why they are discontinuing it and replacing it with OWN.
 
I think that it was to a lack of viewers. I liked Mystery Diagnosis on the channel. It does seem that the Discovery suite of channels have undergone some change over the years.
 
Well you ARE aware that Discovery also owns FitTV, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of those shows popped up on it...
Bottom line - there was no need for (basically) 2 health channels, so that's why Discovery Health changed to OWN, since it also happened to have the largest # of subs.

FitTV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
Mystery Diagnosis will be aired on the new OWN network. In fact there are to be new episodes starting in January. This was displayed on the bottom of the screen during a recent Mystery Diagnosis Episode.

Mystery Diagnosis was the program i was worried about
 

When we had cable, FitTV was America's Health Network before. I have to admit that it is somewhat funny.
 
Well I go you one better - when D* first started up in '96, AHN was one of the VERY first channels they carried. I believe they have carried it continuously in all it's "reincarnations" since then.
 
A search for Dr. G will land you on Fittv..looks like other shows have also migrated over starting tomorrow

Fit TV is not on Dish. I wonder if these programs will help in getting it added to Dish? This could get interesting. I am not sure why they do not carry it.
 
heh heh if you have a favorite list you have to add it back in as with the name change it dropped off of favorites
 
Found this at the other site in regards to the OWN channel.


So not only is getting this channel in HD doubtful, it could go away from D* in a couple of years.
 
I hope that would mean just losing OWN and not the complete Discovery package. All this contract bickering makes the AppleTV I got for Christmas look more valuable every day!
