EXTRACT

Discovery is expanding its push into subscription streaming TV with a range of new direct-to-consumer video services, including a natural history partnership with the BBC.

Discovery was among the first of the major media brands to try its hand at the direct-to-consumer proposition, originally with an OTT offer launched in the Nordics. The content producer is planning to launch new themed SVOD services, drawing on the specialties of Discovery’s channels. The company owns TV channels including Discovery, Food Network and HGTV. The plan is to segment and package content into streaming plans catering for viewers with different interest, as Discovery aims to become something of a Netflix of factual programming.

The most high profile of these is a new natural-history service that includes content from the BBC, creating a combined library with titles such as “Planet Earth” and “Blue Planet.” Discovery didn’t disclose the price, but expects it will cost a few dollars a month when it launches globally in 2020. The 10-year content partnership is effective for all territories outside the UK, Ireland and Greater China.

Discovery has also acquired SVOD rights to hundreds of hours of BBC programming across factual genres. All of this content will form one of the pillars of a new global streaming service, which will also include some of the best of Discovery’s programming library, original content created for the service, and experiences.
