(Reuters) – Discovery Inc said on Monday it expects to have 12 million global paid streaming subscribers by the end of this month, as coronavirus-led restrictions kept people home and fueled streaming subscriber growth.
Launched in January, discovery+ houses 55,000 episodes from channels in the Discovery portfolio, which includes HGTV, Food Network and Animal Planet.
Discovery+ has already launched in India, the UK and Ireland and will eventually be available in 25 countries.
