Discovery Channel Launches On Amazon Channels In Germany And Austria

Discovery Communications has struck a deal for its premium pay TV brand Discovery Channel to become available on Amazon Channels in Germany and Austria. The launch of Discovery Channel on the service extends the streaming cooperation between Discovery and Amazon, which launched Eurosport Player earlier this year with its extensive sports line up, including exclusive Friday night Bundesliga matches.

Amazon customers with an active Prime membership can now access Discovery Channel through live streams of the linear TV channel as well as catch up and VOD content. Hundreds of hours of Animal Planet VOD content about life in the animal kingdom also will be available. These new premium additions to Amazon Channels are available via the Prime Video App on Smart TVs, mobile iOS and Android devices and Fire tablets as well as on Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, or through amazon.de/channels at €3.99 a month.

Susanne Aigner-Drews, SVP & General Manager Discovery Networks Germany: “After the successful launch of the Eurosport Player on Amazon Channels, we’re delighted to present our factual entertainment flagship Discovery Channel as an exciting new addition for Amazon’s customers. With a 30-year pedigree of telling great stories about the world, Discovery Channel has superfans around the globe who love its immersive factual content.

“One of the first Pay TV channels to launch in Germany, Discovery Channel together with Animal Planet are globally well-known brands loved by viewers for their fantastic and high-quality content. We are delighted to make them available to Amazon’s customers and introduce new shows to audiences across Germany. This is part of our ambition to make our content available to fans across every screen and service.”

“With Discovery Channel being available at Amazon Channels, we are excited to offer customers yet another premium-brand”, says Mirjam Laux, General Manager Amazon Channels Germany/Austria. “Whether the depths of space, the icy expanses of Alaska or exciting moments in South America – there’s something for every documentary fan on Discovery Channel. Available in HD, with just one click in the same interface.”

Following the launch, Amazon customers can enjoy all the content launching on Discovery Channel over the coming weeks including the German premiere of the adventure series “Free Ride” which follows Rob Greenfield and James Levelle’s ambitious attempt to cross South America with no money – travelling over 9,000 kilometers from Brazil to Panama in 72 days.

In November, the acclaimed documentary masterpiece “Rancher, Farmer, Fishermen” launches together with a new season of “Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.” Brand defining shows like the Emmy® awarded series “Deadliest Catch” will now be available together with the true-crime documentary “Killing Fields” which follows US detectives as they reopen the case of a young woman’s body found in the Louisiana swamplands. The hit Spanish show “Clandestino”, with David Beriain who travels the world to visit conflict zones and hot spots is also part of Discovery’s line-up.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
