Fubo lost Discovery, Food Network & more channels: Here's how to keep streaming them
Fubo and Warner Bros. Discovery were unable to come to a carriage agreement by the end of day on Tuesday, April 30. As a result, Fubo lost the slate of Warner Bros. Discovery channels.
Fubo released the following statement about the update:
Fubo has attempted to renew with Warner Brothers Discovery our Discovery content agreement for its networks including Discovery, HGTV, Food Network and TLC, among others, and to obtain license rights for its Turner sports networks TNT, TBS and truTV. Fubo offered Warner Brothers Discovery market rates for its content and, despite Fubo’s efforts to negotiate in good faith, Warner Brothers Discovery did not provide any counteroffer, and insisted on continuing to offer us above-market rates for its content. Fubo views Warner Brothers Discovery's refusal to engage in good faith negotiations as another example of its abuse of massive market power that ultimately limits consumer choice.
It is always Fubo's mission to offer a leading package of premium sports, news and entertainment content while also providing value and keeping costs as low as possible for consumers.
The following is the list of channels dropped by Fubo:
- Discovery Channel
- TLC
- Animal Planet
- Investigation Discovery
- OWN
- Motor Trend
- Science
- American Heroes
- Destination America
- Discovery Life
- Discovery Family
- Discovery Familia
- Discovery en Espanol
- Hogar
- HGTV
- Food Network
- Travel
- DIY
- Cooking Channel
Looking for a streaming service that still carries the channels above, along with the sports channels you need to watch your favorite teams? Here's where to find them.
Watch on DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM not only carries all of the Warner Bros. Discovery channels in the DIRECTV STREAM channel lineup, but is also one of the best streaming services for sports fans. You'll get Discovery, Food Network, HGTV and the rest of the Fubo-dropped channels with every package, starting with the Entertainment package for $79.99 per month. To get the most from your subscription, you'll want to upgrade to the Choice package or above for a wider range of channels, including regional sports networks, as DIRECTV STREAM is the only service other than Fubo to offer a full range of RSNs.
Watch on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV plans come with 95+ channels for $76.99 per month. You'll get the full lineup of Warner Bros. Discovery channels, along with ESPN, NFL Network, Big Ten Network and more. Even better, your Hulu + Live TV subscription comes with access to ESPN Plus and Disney Plus. Hulu now has a 3-day free trial for testing out the service before starting your paid subscription.
Watch on Sling TV
For streamers on a budget, Sling TV is the most affordable of the live TV streaming options to offer both Warner Bros. Discovery channels and options for sports fans. Sling Blue will get you Discovery Channel, HGTV, Travel Channel and the rest of the lineup for $40 per month in most locations. Local channels are available in select locations, and Sling's selection of add-on packages will add to your channel lineup.
Watch on YouTube TV
YouTube TV has a base package with over 100 channels, including Warner Bros. Discovery channels like Food Network and Investigation Discovery. At $72.99 per month, it's also one of the more affordable options. Look at the Sports Extra add-on for additional sports channels like NFL RedZone.
