- Base packs - Eurosport currently offers two channels in the bas packs. There might be a contractural obligation with VM and Sky to keep two channels in their base packs for a little while yet.

I expected the Discovery Sports name to be used too, considering there is a Discovery Sports website seperate from the main WBD one.
As for channels, no mention of channels in the press release. Looks like it maybe the the end of the BT and Eurosport channels as the whole lot is put on the streamer and talking of which...
WBD announced only a few weeks ago that Discovery+ would not be merged into HBO Max now and perhaps the pricing issue is the reason.
Who would pay possibly £40+ for a merged Discovery/warner service? Keeping the sports seperate means that those people (like me) who aren't that keen on sports and won't pay for them, may still pay for a sport free HBO Max service in the future.
