Discovery and Telia strike carriage agreement following blackout

Telia and international media group Discovery have agreed a new carriage agreement in the Nordic region following a six-day blackout of Discovery channels on the telco’s platform.

The new deal will give Telia customers access to 11 Discovery-owned channels, including Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2. The agreement will also give the telco the ability to resell Discovery’s OTT streaming service Dplay to its customers later this year.
