Discovery UK secures Discovery+ distribution on Samsung and Amazon Fire TV

February 10, 2021 11.11 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Discovery+, the recently launched ‘real life’ streaming service is now available on Samsung Smart TVs and Amazon Fire TV devices in the UK & Ireland.

It follows its November launch on Sky Q; launches on Roku and for Vodafone mobile customers are also planned along with additional devices.

“discovery+ has been incredibly well received since its launch in the UK and Ireland late last year, with local Originals and global franchises driving uptake,” said “James Gibbons, EVP, GM UK & Nordics. “Today we’re pleased to deliver on our promise of bringing discovery+ to more consumers thanks to best-in-class providers like Amazon and Samsung.”

Discovery+ is available on Samsung Smart TVs released since 2017 as a ‘featured app’ and preinstalled on new TVs as a ‘priority’ app.

On Fire TV it is available as an app and can be downloaded through the AppStore or by simply saying “Alexa, open discovery+”.

Both launches will benefit from high profile marketing campaigns around the Olympic Games in Tokyo this Summer.

discovery+ is available for a special offer in February of £1 in the UK and €1 in Ireland for the first month, standard monthly price (£4.99 UK / €5.99 Ireland) applies thereafter. The annual pass is £49.99 in the UK and €59.99 in Ireland. A 7 day free trial applies to both the monthly and annual subscriptions.*
