  • In order to draw more takers of the app, Discovery is offering the new platform in eight different languages, including English, Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.

    You can find the content in any of these languages to experience a localized infotainment experience, something that the other streaming services, including Netflix, have also started focusing on.

  • Details

    Sourcing from various Discovery-owned and partner channels

  • The content of the app is sourced from a number of channels, including Discovery Channel, Discovery Science, Discovery Turbo, Cooking Channel, Travel Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, BBC, Food Network, HGTV, DIY Network, Motortrend, and Vice.

    Of this, some content, including shows on the Indian Army and wildlife, is kept exclusive to premium subscribers while other videos are completely free to access (like Hotstar).

  • With all this, Discovery hopes to bring the strong base of 2.5 crore 'core TV infotainment consumers' across tier-1 and tier-2 towns to the new OTT app. To note, the launch also comes ahead of the inclusion of National Geographic's content in Hotstar via Disney+.
