Who was doing >the buggying and where? Neither did I, but I expect that to be a problem of us Europeans. Is Discovery channel a different thing in the States as it is in Europe ? Do they program the same stuff (only delayed) in Europe ? I do not see the program "NextStep" appearing in the TV guide. (Although I'm sure it appeared in there a long time ago...). In short : Any chance this program makes it to Europe ?

Do they program the same stuff (only delayed) in Europe ?" The Discovery Channel Europe is managed by United Artists Programming in London on behalf of Discovery Communications Inc. European schedules do not follow the American pattern because much of Discovery Europe's programming is sourced from or re-versioned by European producers. Some programmes shown on Discovery in America do make it over to Europe - especially ones about sharks, planes and submarines! Quite often, Discovery Communications Inc form co-production contracts with other broadcasters. The U.K.'s Channel Four co-produces many of its documentaries under the Equinox banner with Discovery in this way. The BBC is also an important co-production partner. The downside is that many popular productions that go to air in America cannot be shown on Discovery Europe because the European transmission rights are owned by co-production partners in their native territories. To contact Discovery Europe, write to The Viewer Relations Department The Discovery Channel Europe Twyman House 16 Bonny Street London NW1 9PG Hope you find the information useful.
