Discovery GO comes to Roku
Late last year Discovery launched GO, its own TV Everywhere offering that enabled cable subscribers to access “on the go” their favorite shows from Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, Investigation Discovery, Science Channel, Velocity, Destination America, American Heroes Channel and Discovery Life. The GO service offers a mix of live and on-demand content.

The service initially launched on iOS and Android, but the company today announced that GO is now available via Roku.
“Discovery Communications is thrilled to partner with Roku and to have the opportunity to connect with new audiences,” said Karen Leever, EVP and GM of Digital Media, Discovery Communications. “The Roku platform’s user-friendly design and brand-friendly environment make it the perfect stage to showcase our diverse, compelling content helping to extend viewership for our networks.”
For Roku owners, it’s another big win – especially for those who take their sticks with them while traveling in order to stay up to date on favorite shows.
“The Roku platform is designed specifically for streamers. Our goal is to make it easy for customers to access the best, most-compelling streaming entertainment,” said Ed Lee, vice president, content acquisition, Roku. “Discovery is home to some of TV’s most captivating shows, bringing insight to lifestyle, nature and science. We’re extremely excited to have Discovery Communications’ suite of TV everywhere offerings readily available to Roku customers.”
