When BT and Eurosport merge, they’ll probably cut their linear presence from 6 channels to 4, with greater emphasis on discovery+ for sports entertainment.

Let not put BT Sport into a WarnerMedia and Discovery merger until it been sign off by BT and Discovery.
What will Warner Bros. Discovery own?
-Really*

-TLC +1*
-ID +1*

-HD Channels are also broadcasting in SD on Sky.
-* Own by Discovery right now.

-*^ Part own by Discovery right now.
Bar the following names I think all other channels will stay the same as now:
-Really will become Quest Sports (something like Freesport)
-Things like Deadwood will move to Quest (No sports)
-Really shows will move to Quest, Quest Red, DMAX and HGTV
-Discovery History and Discovery Science may merge into one channel.
-Turbo may get axe.
-Cartoonito +1 and Cartoonito HD may launch using Turbo slots on Sky.
-What will happen to GB News - will Discovery sell their share?
This post is just my own views but Warner Bros. Discovery will be looking it their channel list to merge or close some brands to make even more money.
