Most of Discovery Kids' worldwide channels, as well as its website for children's activities and consumer products, have been either rebranded or shut down. Following the Warner Bros. Discovery merger in 2022, the brand was replaced by the standard Discovery brand for activities and consumer products. As of 2025, Discovery Kids-branded channels continue to broadcast in both India and Latin America. An unbranded morning programming block based on the Latin American channel (formerly branded as Discovery Kids) also airs in the United States on Discovery Familia.
Discovery Kids US (1996–2010) – In 2009, the channel became a 50/50 joint venture between Discovery and Hasbro Entertainment and was relaunched as Hub Network in 2010. The channel was relaunched again as Discovery Family in 2014, after Discovery reacquired 10% of Hasbro's stake in the network.
Discovery Kids en Español (2005–2007) – In 2007, the channel merged with Discovery Viajar y Vivir to become Discovery Familia, effectively converting Discovery Kids en Español into a daytime programming block. The block became unbranded in 2014 and currently airs in the morning hours.
