Skylink drops Discovery channels

M7 Group’s Czech and Slovak DTH operator Sklink has dropped Discovery channels from its line-up.

In a statement, it says that as of June 1 it is no longer offering Discovery, TLC, Discovery Showcase HD, Animal Planet, Eurosport 1 HD and Eurosport 2HD to its customers.

It adds that as of May 1 some changes to its offer, adding Nova Sport 1 HD, Nova Sport 2 HD and National Geographic HD to the Smart package and National Geographic HD, FightBox and Love Nature HD to the Multi package.

It now also includes the National Geographic video library in its offer.

Skylink first announced its decision to no longer offer Discovery channels at the beginning of last month.

However, local reports say that talks between the two parties to reach an agreement were taking place up to only a few days ago.
