, Discovery’s president and CEO of streaming and international, acknowledged the company’s struggles in the sports arena even as it has gained scale in recent years.
Discovery acquired control of EuroSport in 2015 after being a partner with TF1 Group in the property starting in 2012. While EuroSport has Olympics rights in some territories through 2024 and is fairly well-penetrated, its stand-alone streaming service is being discontinued as Discovery+ becomes more of a strategic focus.
Perrette was asked about the current view on bundling various streaming offerings, a playbook that Disney has executed successfully with its Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu combination. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has said all options are on the table in terms of WarnerMedia, which launched HBO Max in 2020, a few months before the rollout of Discovery+ began.
