Sky prepare for loss of Discovery channels
Sky have made preparations for the loss of the Discovery TV Group of channels…
Contract negotiations between Sky and Discovery have meant the potential loss of 12 channels operated by Discovery from the Sky TV package. (More information here )
The loss of channesl is expect to happen on the 1st February 2017, unless a last minute deal can be reached.
In the meantime, Sky has prepared a “generic” screen, informing customers that the channels are no longer available on Sky TV packages, which will “go live” on the 1st February 2017.
Sky and Discovery are said to be close to agreeing a last-gasp deal to keep the likes of Eurosport and Animal Planet on Sky’s pay-TV platform – following their well-publicised spat. Both companies are said to have agreed to halt publicly confrontational messages, and there is renewed hope a deal can be struck.
If a deal isn’t done today (January 31st) then the channels will cease to be available through Sky on February 1st.
