Daily Planet has been on the Discovery Channel in Canada for 14 years – since 1995. Before 2002 I think it had a different name, @discovery.ca, although I never saw it because I didn’t have cable TV in those days. It has been hosted by Canadian science writer Jay Ingram from the start. I think Ziya Tong is a great co-host, and I hope they keep her on the show for a long time to come.

I’m glad to hear Ziya’s doing well, and is appreciated. I’ll be sure to let her know some of my readers are impressed!

Ziya Tong is surely the best co-host I have seen since I watch Daily Planet, that means since two to three years.

Well, to clarify – I only mean ‘guarantee’ in the figurative sense… I have no such power to actually do so.

Best of luck to her!

As a Canadian, having lived in this country for most of my life, I can guarantee that Daily Planet is certainly not going to be short lived – it’s a science-oriented news program on the Discovery Channel here in Canada, and it’s been running continuously for about 10 years.

Though, in that span they’ve had one permanent host, and Ms. Tong would be that fellow’s third co-host.

Hi Clifford,

based on the previous experience, is it a good guess that the Daily Planet is also going to be short lived?

Cheers,
Dmitry.
