discovery+ launching live streaming channels on all plans
The new channels will feature content from some of Warner Bros. Discovery’s top cable brands, as well as NASA+.
While its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, is currently in the midst of a tumultuous acquisition process with Paramount Skydance, discovery+ is still making moves to provide varied entertainment options to its subscribers. The streamer has announced it’s launching a selection of new streaming channels across its platforms, allowing viewers to access continuous streams of content from Discovery, Food Network, TLC, and even the space-focused streamer NASA+.
Key Details:
- Available now: discovery+ has begun rolling out a selection of digital streaming channels.
- All can watch: The channels are available on all plans on the discovery+ app and website.
- Blast off: The channel selection includes live Earth views from the International Space Station.
Digital streaming channels, which will run around the clock, have begun launching on discovery+ and are available to watch for all subscribers, no matter which discovery+ plan they use. Viewers will find them on the discovery+ app, as well as the service’s website.
Subscribers will see plenty of familiar programming on these new digital channels — especially if they love Warner Bros. Discovery’s cable channels. The 90 Day Universe channel will feature episodes from some of TLC’s most-loved unscripted titles, and the Beat Bobby Flay channel will offer non-stop culinary throwdowns with the world-famous chef.
Audiences will also find channels dedicated to “Deadliest Catch,” “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” “Evil Lives Here,” “Ghost Adventures,” “Gold Rush,” and “House Hunters” on discovery+. Viewers will be able to turn on these channels, lean back, and enjoy instead of being forced to choose their next episode or season, which discovery+ hopes will lead to greater engagement with its platform.
“We are excited to partner with NASA+ and for the opportunity to deliver their extraordinary programming to our discovery+ and HBO Max subscribers in Dolby Vision, including the next historic Artemis III mission,” Warner Bros. Discovery engineer Neal Roberts said. “Our audiences will be able to immerse themselves in space exploration like never before, with the stunning picture clarity and detail that Dolby Vision provides.”
Space enthusiasts will be happy to learn that discovery+ is also offering a dedicated NASA+ channel, with original programming, live launches, and more, and the NASA+ Live Earth Views channel, which offers a live stream of the planet from the International Space Station 24 hours per day. The NASA+ partnership will also allow select live events to stream on HBO Max in Dolby Vision on supported devices.
