Reading that, it is an app not a channel and it will be available in the summer. You will need a Hopper to use it. You also have to subscribe to CuriosityStream to use it, much like Netflix and AmazonPrime.

I thought we received a new channel. Maybe a mod can change the title?

That is an old article from 2018. It has been available for quite some time. I just checked on my Wally.

It is available as an add-on to your Dish subscription for $2.99 per month, according to the My Programming page in my mydish account.

Thank you,
Will try that.
AH?
Do I use my remote, or the site? :/

I just tried to use my remote, and I got a "How to Subscribe" pop-up:
"To upgrade your subscription, contact us at 1-800-333-DISH (1-800-333-3474) or online at dish.com/chat."

Which is not as good a deal as if you sub to Curiosity Stream directly. I sub for $20/yr. But of course that does not put it on your Hopper.

I guess it depends on how quickly you can go through all of the content you want to watch. If I were going to binge-watch a bunch of stuff from it and then drop it, I think I would rather have the monthly subscription. Or is that $20 able to be pro-rated?

If it's pro rated, I don't know it. And I would have an impossible time binge watching everything on Curiosity Stream. Their video library is rather impressive. They have 2000 original documentaries available nowhere else. Oh, and I noticed right now it's $11.95/year. That may be a first year promo.
