Discovery Networks (Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, Science) coming to Amazon Prime
From Amazon's front page:
I'm not a huge fan of their programming (I prefer scripted shows), but I have been known to lose hours to Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and of course, Shark Week. And I do like their seasonal specials around Halloween and Christmas - hopefully, those will be included.

Yeah this doesn't do much for me. I usually only watch Discovery if there is a good documentary on.

I think Mythbusters is the only show on those networks that appeals to me.
Unfortunately, Netflix already has this content. So it doesn't really do anything for me. I wish Amazon would get aggressive and license some stuff nobody else has yet. I'd love to see them get their hands on the Scripps Network content (Travel Channel, Food Network, HGTV).

Netflix already has back seasons of No Reservations, Man vs. Food and Bizarre Foods. However, they are 2 years behind on the content.
They are losing Bizarre Foods in 2 days.
Amazon used to sell Travel Channel content, but for some reason all of it was pulled.
