That depends on how many of those carriage deals remain in place and how much material Discovery possesses which will not be covered by such deals in a couple of years' time.

You will be aware that Netflix in the US has a bigger library than we have access to in the UK simply because a proportion of that content is not for showing in the UK. Given that carriage deals typically last 4 or 5 years and that Discovery would have been planning this for a while, I would be surprised if such rights were much of an issue by 2021.
