Is that your best argument against our streaming future, Andrew? The problems being experienced by some streaming companies is not relevant to this argument.
The main problem Discovery+ has is with its programme quality. This should improve with more scripted content - and producing more intelligent documentaries would certainly help.

Are you seriously questioning the fact that streaming in most areas (other than sport) is cheaper than bundled TV channels?
I’ve pointed out repeatedly that there will be consolidation when it comes to sport streamers, although popular demand will always push up prices. Just look at boxing and premier league football as examples.

That wasn’t what I said was ‘silly’. What was silly was this:
‘People who want to watch TNT want to watch live sports. No amount of punditry on an app will ever compensate for that.’
It sounded very much like you were failing to acknowledge that you can stream live sport. What else could you have meant?

Eh? If they can’t do a deal on TNT, maybe they can finally bring Discovery+ to the platform instead, which was meant to be coming this year, by the way.
