Totally agree and discovery signed a ‘long term’ linear deal with Sky only last year.
I seen an interview a few months back with the Discovery CEO who stated they are still committed to linear.
Disney + has been a roaring success therefore you can see why Disney have made the choices they have.
Although Discovery plus is performing well now, if their channels were to disappear overnight where could they push the Discovery Plus service every five mins.
It is likely some services will be reduced but IMHO the Discovery Channels will be around for a while yet.
As for Eurosport going PPV only, I can’t see them getting much traction from that to cover the costs of broadcasting and the administration of it.
