I'm confused how are discovery that big of a company? Discovery channel hasnt been good for years. Eurosport was at its height in the early 90s. How have discovery remained a big company?!

There can be lots of reasons. Often it can be as simple as perception. One person's perception isn't necessarily an accurate one. Just because you don't watch it anymore doesn't mean other people aren't, everyone has different tastes and habits.
The Pay TV market has got much, much larger since the early 90s. Many have a much larger audience worldwide than they did back then.
That the market is dominated by just a few companies these days, and they are still around and taking up so many channel positions still, compared to others, is a good indicator.
They have, like many others, bought many, many, other companies around the world. Most viewers don't realise who owns what, hence they can be bigger than people think.
