I wouldn’t put much credence to that entry, although I do believe the channels will eventually close and the content will be on the streamer instead.

There has certainly been a statement confirming that Discovery will continue to have a linear presence, but no detail has been given about how many channels would remain. We may be left only with a showcase channel.

As for Eurosport, I think that will continue to be ‘free’ with a Discovery+ subscription, but there could be an ad-free version for an extra premium.

There are many possibilities, I am sure, but no real clues yet about what will happen. Except of course, that it won’t be on 31 November!
