discovery+ will launch first on Sky Q, with customers getting 12 months free access to a new ad-free paid tier, after which they can add the cost to their Sky bill.

The service will also be rolling out to additional platforms over the next year. 

James Gibbons, EVP GM UK & Nordics, said: “We’ve just celebrated our best quarter ever for audience share, and buoyed by that success are excited to announce the launch of discovery+, to fuel the rapidly evolving demand for consumers to stream content at a time and on a device of their choosing.
