Sky and Discovery strike deal to keep channels listed
The US broadcaster behind channels such as Eurosport and TLC had threatened to remove its channels from Sky on 31 January after a dispute over fees. Discovery said the new agreement would keep its programmes on Sky for "Years to come". Discovery had claimed Sky did not pay a "Fair price" for its channels - but Sky said Discovery's threat to remove the channels was about "Commercial self-interest". Discovery's portfolio in the UK includes Discovery Channel, Eurosport, TLC, Animal Planet and DMAX. Its channels are also available on other services such as Virgin Media. Sky also announced a new deal with PBS America that will bring the US broadcaster's factual programming to Sky, covering history, science, current affairs, arts and culture.
