They don't get that, it's a premium service.
I think it's more a case of saying that as you get the Discovery content through the linear channels anyway, we'll give you the app that contains this content.

Only for some Sky customers.
Not for existing Sky+ customers.

Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers can now sign up for discovery+ as part of their monthly Sky TV subscription, saving £6.99/€6.99 a month*.

Customers with Sky Q Essentials, Sky Q Lite, and Sky+ unfortunately can’t access discovery+ content at no extra cost

Sky TV customers already enjoying the 12-months’ discovery+ Entertainment pass will now be able to access the discovery+ Entertainment and Sport service on an ongoing basis as part of their Sky TV package. Those customers will be automatically upgraded.

British households cut more than 2m subscriptions to services such as Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ last year, as the cost of living crisis fuelled the first annual decline since the UK streaming revolution began a decade ago.

It is pertinent to note that Sky has also been losing customers, so it’s not just the streamers that took a hit.

And in the middle of the article, that figure is stated, followed by a caveat…
Quote:
The final quarter of last year offered signs of a modest recovery, as the traditionally bumper Christmas period added a net increase of 300,000 subscriptions.
However, the recovery may be short-lived, with evidence that some new customers were simply looking for a quick binge over the festive period.
The research firm Kantar said the proportion of consumers planning to cancel one or more subscription video-on-demand services in the first three months of 2023 had risen to 12%, up from 9.6%, “indicating short-term holiday quarter subscribers are quickly looking to cut back”.
