History
Discovery Communications launched Discovery Kids Channel on October 7, 1996, as part of a suite of four new digital cable channels that included Discovery Travel & Living Network, Discovery Civilization Network, and Discovery Science Network. Upon its launch, the channel primarily offered adventure, nature, and science-themed programs aimed towards a children's audience between ages 6 and 11. Marjorie Kaplan, the network's senior vice president, explained that the creation of Discovery Kids Channel was influenced primarily by kids, who were watching its parent network's programming together with their parents.

From 1996 to 2000, Discovery Kids Channel was carried by only a select few cable television providers. In 2001, the channel was shortened to Discovery Kids and late in that year, it was carried in at least 15 million homes. In September 2001, a Canadian version of Discovery Kids was launched in partnership with Corus Entertainment.

In the year 2001, Discovery Kids announced an partnership worldwide version including Latin America from The Walt Disney Company and eventually all the television networks from it were changing its names and logos. Discovery Kids became Discovery Toons and international channel were also changing.

In July, 2004 the first "Discovery Toons" promos aired on Discovery Kids Latin America, and the last week of July a countdown started, saying how many days were left until Discovery Toons come.

On July 31, 2004 at midnight the channel changed to Discovery Toons, but some promos kept on air until some weeks later.

Since then, Discovery Toons Latin America has the same promos and intros, they have never been changed. It airs some original programming, movies and third-party series and movies. The "Copa Discovery Kids" became "Copa Discovery Toons" and it is still aired every year.
