Discovery last year completed its $14.6 billion acquisition of Scripps Networks. The transaction grew Discovery’s stable of networks like Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet to including HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel, DIY Network and Cooking Channel.
Last year those networks were added to Discovery’s suite of TV Everywhere “Go” apps on all platforms. The networks join the 12 existing Discovery Go apps and add more than 22,000 titles to the platform.
“Discovery’s suite of Go apps superserves the consumer with the content they love and creates the ultimate viewing experience across all screens and platforms,” said Karen Leever, president of U.S. Digital Products and Marketing at Discovery, in a statement. “The addition of these networks to our platform allows our superfans direct access to over a thousand series to binge, catch up or watch live.”
Discovery’s Go apps first launched in 2016 and are available on Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, iOS, Android, Chromecast, Xbox One, Samsung TV and on the web.
