RELATED: The Danny DeVito of Cable NetworksA month after the Oprah Winfrey Network launched on the channel formerly occupied by Discovery Health, some of Discovery Health's programming will be moving to FitTV, which be rebranded as Discovery Fit & Health on February 1.
"Discovery Fit & Health has the unique benefit of drawing upon the best attributes of established brands with active, engaged audiences," Laura Michalchyshyn, president and general manager of Discovery Fit & Health, said in a statement. "This network will speak to viewers in a way that is both credible and compelling, offering unforgettable stories, authentic experts and engrossing, high-stakes circumstances."
Among the shows moving to the new network are Discovery Health's Dr. G: Medical Examiner, I'm Pregnant and . . . , 911: The Bronx and Untold Stories of the ER. Those shows became homeless when OWN-a joint venture of Discovery Communications and Winfrey's Harpo Productions-- took over Discovery Health's channel position. FitTV's working programming, such as Bodies in Motion, Namaste Yoga and Shimmy, will air in the mornings.
The new channel will also feature events such as Baby Week, Psych Week, Adventures in Parenting and New Year, New You that had been staples of Discovery Health.
Discovery Fit & Health will be available in about 50 million homes.

Transgender and Pregnant? Pregnant Man? Move that crap back to oprah where it belongs. You people really screwed up a good channel. You stupid liberals destroy everything you touch. Stop trying to force your personal lifestyles on everyone else. Most Americans find it disgusting. I'm sure you are "logo" fans, place that repulsive material there. If enough people complain, perhaps we can get "FOX" to take notice.

Looks like DirecTV is going to need to swap channel positions. Put Discovery Fit & Health to Channel 279 and OWN to channel 261.
