Discovery+ is being integrated into the Roku channel, standalone app remains

Roku is launching Discovery+ subscription offers on its own Roku channel. While Roku already offers a standalone Discovery+ app through its store, this new move means Discovery+ content will also be available through the Roku channel for the first time.

In a press release shared today, Roku says that viewers of the ad-supported ($4.99 per month) and premium ad-free ($6.99 per month) versions of Discovery+ will receive support through the Roku channel in the United States. The Roku channel “already offers Premium subscriptions to more than 50 services,” the press release states.

Discovery+ features 70,000 episodes of current and classic shows from an iconic portfolio of networks including HGTV, Food Network, TLC, ID, OWN, Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Magnolia Network, plus more than 200 Discovery+ original titles and hundreds of hours of exclusive content. In addition, the service features the best non-fiction content from A&E, The HISTORY Channel and Lifetime, plus the definitive offering of nature and environmental programming, with exclusive streaming access to BBC Natural History’s largest collection.

“Launching Discovery+ on The Roku Channel gives our users easy access to this compelling content while allowing Discovery to reach additional audiences through The Roku Channel,” said Rob Holmes, Roku’s vice president of programming, via a press release. “By offering more great content on The Roku Channel, we’re giving our millions of streamers even more reasons to engage with one of the top five channels on our US platform and more opportunities for our streaming partners. Reach our wide audience. ‘

The Roku Channel is far from the only way people can bundle subscription services from various companies (Amazon and Apple already do something similar through their own apps), but it’s the best way people can do it when using Roku hardware.

Roku makes some of the best streaming devices on the market, including some of the best Apple TV+ streaming devices.
