Really

Really launched in 2009 with its remit being more life-focused programming. Featuring documentaries about real life people and paranormal programming, it took over a lot of the non-home programming from the previous UKTV Style channel. Initially the channel branding was styled in a pop-art style with a circular logo like other UKTV channels, before changing to the current logo in 2013. The current branding and ident set expanded on this look in 2017, as well as adding the tagline 'Life on TV' to reinforce their position.

Really was spun out from the UKTV network into Discovery ownership in June 2019. This was as part of a split deal between previous joint UKTV owners BBC Studios and Discovery Networks which saw Discovery take on the lifestyle channels from the group.

Really (Eric - Short) - 2017

The 2017 ident package for Really focuses on some 'real life' people, each with their own story. The initial set launched in May 2017 with 4 people.

Really (Haunted) - 2020

Really (Sting - 13 Nights of Frights) - 2020

13 Nights of Frights returned to Really again for Halloween 2020. Whether as a result of the pandemic, or just as a result of Discovery's usual limited interest in pres for the channel, things were scaled back onscreen compared to previous years. Idents and breakbumpers continued in regular form, in the case of idents not even using their appropriate 'haunted' one for most junctions in favour of their normal 'rescue' version. With special presentation being kept to use on trailers and this very rarely used text-based sting,
