#New paranormal shows on discovery plus plus#
The Internet has been referring to this as Discovery Plus stealing shows, which explains how people feel about it: It feels like theft to have paid for cable, and now find reality shows they’ve paid for taken away, and held for ransom, to extend the metaphor further. The moves have provoked a lot of anger and resentment see the extensive comments here for just a few examples. The moves are happening so frequently that some networks’ websites even have a generic page saying “This show is now streaming on discovery+”: TLC, Animal Planet, Science Channel.
TV shows that have moved from Discovery’s cable channels-Food Network, HGTV, TLC, ID, Travel Channel, Science Channel, OWN, MotorTrend, Animal Planet, and Discovery Channel-to its new pay streaming service Discovery+ include new episodes of Food Network’s classic Alton Brown series Good Eats and Restaurant: Impossible Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files, and Portals to Hell Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch: Bloodline and Animal Planet’s Crikey! It’s the Irwins. It’s a great question-and one that Discovery’s CEO was asked recently when the company announced its first-quarter earnings.
Okay…now explain the WTF’ry that goes along with Discovery+ and the fact that many of their “exclusives” are now available on demand for free? I don’t understand why these networks think they are worth paying for just to jerk people around.
After I answered a question about why Paramount+ did not have all seasons of The Challenge and Real World, I received this follow-up on social media about Discovery Plus, and how shows keep moving from cable networks to the pay streaming service and back again:
