    So running wild with bear grylls is on 5 sky channels at the moment, same Kate winslet episode.

    520 Discovery
    524 Discovery turbo
    525 Discovery science
    535 Discovery history
    523 Animal planet

    Is it a mistake or a planner error? Seems very strange.

    It's not the first time Discovery has done this. Bear Grylls shouldn't be anywhere near Turbo, Science, History or Animal Planet.

    It highlights to me how far down the drain that brand has become. Of course it's not only Discovery that have gone to pot. History Channel is also rubbish with their "reality shows" and programming about aliens. Even X Files is on there FFS.

    Long gone are the days when you would want the documentary channels before anything else.

    The exact same episode on at the exact same time on 5 different channels is really pulling the pi**.
    I agree about the channel selection too, I expect something motoring related to be on Disc Turbo, what's the point in calling a channel "turbo" if its not exclusively motor related, and History channel is another story, I mean Pawn Stars is really stretching it to be classified as history related, bar the odd "down on his luck and I need to sell this antique gun my great great great grandad gave me" guy.
    Ice road truckers on the other hand has nothing history related and should never be on History channel.
