In March 2011 Discovery launched a UK website giving schedules for all its channels as well as guides to shows, image galleries and video clips. There is also a newsletter for receiving up-to-date news. However, this is still quite basic compared with the American Discovery Channel website which has quite elaborate pages for a much wider range of programmes featuring games and blogs as well as information on DVD availability.

The Journal is intended as a resource for anyone wanting to know what happened during the missions and why. It includes a corrected transcript of all recorded conversations between the lunar surface crews and Houston. The Journal also contains extensive, interwoven commentary by the Editor and by ten of the twelve moonwalking astronauts.

An ‘archive’ of historical audio, still and moving image material, chiefly American. Among the huge range of material available is a large section on the Kennedy assassination (with many original radio and TV broadcasts but not the Zapruder footage of the assassination itself); Kennedy press conferences; World War Two broadcasts from Churchill, Roosevelt, Eisenhower and broadcaster Ed Murrow; the Vietnam War; sound effects and theme tunes; various space sounds and pictures; UFOs; old radio broadcasts; compilations of American television advertisements. The look of the site is ugly and its arrangement haphazard, but there is much of interest and value for the patient. Footage for sale inexpensively on DVD.

Gresham College, named after Sir Thomas Gresham, has been giving free lectures for some 400 years. Over 2,000 audio and/or video lectures given since 2001 are available on the site for free, on-demand streaming or download approximately two weeks after they have been given. The main subject areas are Art & Literature, Medical Science, Business, History, Law, Mathematics, Music, Politics, Religion, Science, and Unusual, which includes Media, Education, Climate Change and others. Results can also be filtered by subcategories. For example, there is a section on Film under the Arts & Literature category, and a section on Film Music under the Music category. The lectures last, on average, between 25 minutes and a little under an hour. They all have a good number of chapters and a fair amount of information is given on the site as well as transcripts and links to related materials.
The content can also be browsed via the tab Watch which contains four groupings: All Past Lectures, Series, Shorts and Short Series.
