On a sidenote, lots of Discovery news today which most of which I can't access.

They're doing deals with the Olympics rights, that they now have. Wimbledon is mentioned. A grab for ITV or CH4 is also mentioned (all of this in Broadcast mag) and deals to buy stakes in companies from Latin America to Asia. So Discovery and its master John Malone are having a busy old time.
Discovery operates independently of LGI though. Ditto All3Media. The only wholly-owned TV production is the Irish station TV3. LGI can't use Discovery in the way that Sky can use its wholly-owned channels.

The Wimbledon deal is detailed here: http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...live-bbc-ofcom
