Investigation Discovery (ID) is a Canadian discretionary service owned by Rogers Sports & Media. It is based off the U.S. cable network of the same name, and focuses on true crime programming.

History

[edit]

Investigation Discovery is one of five specialty networks that were relaunched by Rogers on January 1, 2025, after the June 2024 announcement that it had acquired the rights to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) factual and lifestyle brands.[1] The channel succeeds an iteration of ID that was majority-owned by Bell Media, which concurrently relaunched as a Canadian version of ID competitor Oxygen through a partnership with NBCUniversal.[2]
