Hulu nabs five Discovery channels for its live TV line-up
Hulu is adding five extra Discovery networks to its live TV line-up along with thousands of on-demand shows. Viewers can look forward to watching Discovery Channel, TLC, Investigation Discovery, Motor Trend (the rebranded Velocity), and Animal Planet this December -- the fruits of a multi-year pact that's been in the works since before the launch of Hulu's livestreaming option in May, 2017, according to Variety.
Oprah Winfrey gets her own channel, will simulcast in HD
If you thought Oprah Winfrey was big time currently, get a load of this. Starting sometime in 2009, the talk show superstar will launch her own network, which will unsurprisingly be dubbed The Oprah Winfrey Network. Apparently, Discovery will be handing over its Discovery Health channel "to be rebranded as OWN" and simulcast in high-definition, and seeing that the joint venture will be evenly split between Discovery and Harpo, no cash will be involved. Wondering what kind of content to expect? Look for programming aimed at inspiring, entertaining and empowering viewers -- whatever that means.[Via USAToday]
