You're welcome Old Boy.
It's nothing fantastic, just Discovery's wish to become King of "quality" tv, as they see it. When they say quality, they're talking about all food shows, all home related shows etc and owning them worldwide on their own platforms. With taking full control of all the cooking/home related channels from UKTV, this gives them complete control of all such stuff as far as the UK goes.
They seem to think their combined offering is a viable alternative to Netflix, Disney and quality dramas...

Agree.
If you listen to the interview, he's talking about being on Amazon's platform and devices. Read between the lines and I reckon he's hoping Amazon will buy them out soon.
