The channel was launched in March 1997 by CBS as CBS Eye on People, and featured news and human interest stories from CBS News. The channel suffered significant losses, in part because few cable providers were willing to carry it. By the end of its first year on the air, it was only available in 11 million homes, less than half of what most cable channels need to turn a profit. In mid-1998, it was announced that Discovery Communications would buy 50 percent of the channel and take operational control. It dropped "CBS" from its title to become simply Eye on People.[1] On January 11, 1999, Discovery bought out CBS Corporation's stake in Eye on People, which was renamed Discovery People.[2] Discovery Communications began gradually phasing out Discovery People's operations, using Discovery People's distribution for other networks.[3] For DirecTV customers, the channel was replaced by Discovery Health on December 1, 1999.[3] In February 2000, Discovery announced that they intended to pull the plug on the channel.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/07/28/business/the-media-business-discovery-to-buy-50-stake-in-cbs-eye-on-people-channel.html|title=THE MEDIA BUSINESS; Discovery to Buy 50% Stake In CBS Eye On People Channel|last=Carter|first=Bill|work=The New York Times|date=July 28, 1998|accessdate=March 6, 2014}} {{Discovery Channel UK}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/12/31/business/the-media-business-cbs-is-selling-stake-in-venture.html|title=THE MEDIA BUSINESS; CBS Is Selling Stake in Venture|work=The New York Times|date=December 31, 1998|accessdate=March 6, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-57439860.html|title=Going All Out: DirecTV Switches Out Discovery People For Health|publisher=CableFAX|date=November 8, 1999}}{{dead link|date=February 2019|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://variety.com/2000/tv/news/discovery-people-fades-out-1117778836/|title=Discovery People fades out|date=February 28, 2000|publisher=Variety}} 6 : English-language television stations in the United States|Television channels and stations established in 1997|Television channels and stations disestablished in 2000|Defunct American television networks|CBS Corporation|Discovery, Inc. |
