After Fubo and WBD have been unable to reach a deal, Fubo dropped the following channels:
- American Heroes
- Animal Planet
- Cooking Channel
- Destination America
- Discovery Channel
- Discovery Life
- Discovery Family
- Discovery Familia
- Discovery en Español
- DIY
- Food Network
- HGTV
- Hogar
- Investigation Discovery
- Motor Trend
- OWN
- Science
- TLC
- Travel
Fubo says this comes after WBD did not play ball on a “skinny” sports bundle that would allow the platform to continue carrying these channels without all Fubo customers paying for them.
WBD says that they offered to Fubo to keep the same deal they had up to this point, without a price increase, but Fubo wouldn’t play ball, so to speak.
The main reason to subscribe to Fubo is sports, and these channels not being sports channels, they’re little harm to the streamer’s brand. That said, what does compound this issue is that Fubo is unable to carry essential sports channels due to an issue with another deal: Turner sports networks.
The sports channels that Fubo still can’t carry:
- TNT
- TBS
- TruTV
