The latest carriage fee dispute between Discovery and a major European platform was resolved ahead of the weekend’s World Cup qualifiers.
Telia customers in Sweden narrowly avoided missing Kanal 5’s coverage of Saturday night’s 2-1 victory over France after Discovery-owned channels were removed from the telco on Wednesday.
“It is sad that our customers got caught, but now we have an agreement that means that we, together with Discovery enhance our TV service, and our customers can continue to watch TV when they want, how they want and where they want,” said Jonas Hasselberg, head of Telia’s consumer business.
The dispute also created a similiar issue in neighbouring Denmark.
