The Survivorman Channel
editIt's a good show but it makes the Science Channel look like it can't fulfill it's mission. Is the Science Channel now the Survivorman Channel? Should we change the article title?
Or should the programming just be considered an example of strange things that people will do when engaged in organizational behavior (not the Survivorman himself, but the Science Channel executives who somehow convinced themselves in committee that it wasn't absurd to fill a Science channel with survival shows, Ufology shows, shows about factory line production and construction projects).
Hey to be fair, at certain points during the week the channel actually has some Science!

Science (TV network) → Science Channel – This is till the full official name, so "(TV network)" is a needless disambiguator. jamacfarlane (talk) 15:47, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support as a WP:NATURALDISAMBIG as it is the official name and I think it's probably also the WP:COMMONNAME too, as that is usually how people refer to it. "Science" is just a branding thing. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:49, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support as per Rreagan007. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:36, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support per NATURAL DISAMBIGUATION policies (e.g., American Broadcasting Company instead of ABC (TV network)). CookieMonster755✉ 03:38, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Name changes in Canada
editAs of January 2025, the Discovery Science channel in Canada was rebranded as CTV Nature Channel, and the main Canadian Discovery Channel is now USA Network (Canadian TV channel). May be worth sticking in a disambiguation somewhere. FrozenSeas (talk) 09:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
