The German branch of Discovery Channel wants to buy the remaining shares in documentary channel DMax from Spiegel-TV and DCTP. The company already owns 98% of the German language FTA channel, formerly known as XXP.
According to the media monopoly commission Konzentration im Medienbereich (KEK), there are no objections against full ownership by Discovery. The company also operates the following channels in the German language market: Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery Geschichte (History) and Discovery HD.
