Discovery Civilization

Discovery Civilization was a subscription television channel, born initially in the United States and then in Europe. It disappears in these markets being replaced in the United States by Discovery Times (now Investigation Discovery) and in the old continent by different versions of Discovery World (Eastern Europe), Discovery Knowledge, now Discovery History (in the United Kingdom), only in America Latina kept the original name.

Presents Discovery Channel-produced and self-produced shows related to historical events and re-enactments with witness interviews and character biographies, often with observations and explanations by historians.

Due to the launch of the Latin American version of the HGTV channel on May 1, 2019, Discovery Networks Latin America requested the television providers that distributed Discovery Civilization to replace the channel with HGTV and progressively discontinue it from the region.

The channel shut down on January 3, 2022 for the only provider where it was still available, Claro TV.

Why was it replaced and later closed?

 * The launch of HGTV in Latin America: Given that Discovery, Inc. needed to have a space for HGTV in the region and since it was going to be very expensive to have a new space in the providers for the new channel, they said to have some providers of the region will replace it with HGTV.
 * Little audience: With the replacement of almost all providers, I expect Claro TV. Its audience decreased since only Claro TV was available and only Colombians could still watch it, until January 3, 2022, when Discovery made the decision to shut down it.

Probability of returning
Due to its replacement by HGTV in some providers, it is impossible for it to relaunch in the future, unless there is a new provider that gives it space to be relaunched.
