Was just reading various Discovery things and I see theyāre replacing Food Network with Investigation Discoveryā¦ low key disappointed as I donāt watch much tv love watching some of those cooking shows.
Ratings aside why do sky always insist on deleting a channel when introducing a new one. Give us more options and variety ffs.
food is currently a basic package channel so will ID be one too?? Cos discovery channel isnātā¦
Edit: according to sky.conz ID will be on sky entertainment package and Discovery will go on to sky starter. Still a shame cos discovery is a shit channel full of scripted reality. Why not just throw CI on sky starter.

@OnAir Late last year, Sky and Discovery, Inc. renewed their partnership in New Zealand but there will be some changes to the Discovery-owned channels on Sky with effect from next month.
āWe know our customers love Discoveryās premium programming, and we are delighted to continue our 26-year partnership through a renewed deal that responds to our customersā needs and the content landscape in New Zealand.ā - Sophie Moloney, Sky Television CEO
The #1 true crime channel in the US* - Investigation Discovery (ID) - is launching in NZ for the first time and is available to everyone who subscribes to Sky Entertainment ($25.50 per month). ID will be on Sky channel 18 (formerly Food Network) from 1 March.
Meanwhile, a selection of Food Network shows will be moving to the existing lifestyle lineup on Living, which is available to Sky customers who subscribe to Sky Entertainment on channel 17. And talking of Discovery (channel 70) - home to Shark Week to Aussie Gold Hunters and every other wild Discovery adventure in between - it will be available to more Sky customers as part of Sky Starter ($25.99 per month).
āReflecting the growing appetite for real crime stories, we also look forward to launching acclaimed true crime channel Investigation Discovery for Sky customers early next year.ā - Rebecca Kent, GM Discovery Australia and New Zealand
And on 16 March, SoHo will be closing its SoHo2 channel and all its shows will be in one place (on channel 10). SoHo is $9.99 per month.

It seems soā¦ I noticed a +HR=E Now endtag on a promo on HGTV last night, but it was barely on screen for seconds, so I wasnāt sure if I was dreaming it!
I imagine thatās the planā¦ probably wonāt happen soon enough though!

Good to see a bit of effort with Three Now- acquiring the NYT documentary Framing Britney Spears. Now would be a great time to launch D+ though, with MAFS starting soon

Surely itās not necessary to type this out when writing the channels name? Three is sufficient.
