Investigation Discovery US

Investigation Discovery (stylized and branded on-air as ID since 2008) is an American multinational pay television network dedicated to true crime documentaries, similar to corporate sibling HLN. It is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery’s networks division and is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland. ID was originally launched as the Discovery Civilization Network, and focused on world history and geography. It was later renamed to Discovery Times, in partnership with the New York Times Company, publisher of The New York Times. After the rebrand, the network focused more on United States culture. The Times divested their stake to Discovery in 2006, and the channel took its current name and format two years later.
