In its latest Broadcast Licencing Update, media regulator Ofcom has awarded a Digital Television Programme Service licence for Discovery 3D, although that does not mean a launch is imminent.
In January, Discovery announced plans to establish a 3D channel in the US as a collaboration with Sony and cinema chain IMAX.
The channel will run a 24/7 schedule of natural history, engineering, science and technology programmes in 3D, with a US launch scheduled for next year.
Sky is so far the only broadcaster in the UK to commit to launching an actual 3D channel, with Sky 3D to become available to residential subscribers on October 1.
