Content from the Discovery Channel and Investigation Discovery, TLC, Discovery Turbo, Animal Planet will also be available for subscribers to stream on demand on Foxtel and BINGE, including in a range of box sets.

“We are incredibly pleased to extend our long-term partnership with Discovery, enabling us to deliver even
more of the world’s best factual, documentary and reality content that our Foxtel and Bing subscribers love – including more great local content,” said Foxtel Group chief content and commercial officer, Amanda Laing.

“The Discovery agreement is also strategically significant for us as we strengthen our loyal Foxtel customer base and experience rapid growth with Binge.

“As Australia’s largest and fastest-growing subscription television company with over four million subscribers, we can provide Discovery’s incredible content with more reach in this market than ever before.

“Our partnership with Discovery follows the renewal of our multi-year agreement with ViacomCBS last year.

“It reinforces our position as a local partner of choice for leading global studios and confirms that there are new and mutually beneficial ways for us to partner with international media companies that have their own direct-to-consumer strategies.”

Discovery senior vice president and general manager, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands, Glen Kyne added, “I’m delighted we’ve renewed this deal. Our relationship with Foxtel has been going strong for more than 25 years now, giving Australian viewers the shows they know and love.

“This partnership has performed extremely well for both Discovery and Foxtel and I’m excited for what the future may bring – for both our companies, and Australians.”
