Discovery regrets to advise that despite negotiating in good faith for several months it has been forced to cease broadcast of its channels on OSN. Channels going dark include Discovery Channel, TLC, Discovery Science and Investigation Discovery.

Discovery has been a partner with OSN for more than 12 years. It proposed several different options to OSN to ensure that its MENA fan base could continue to watch the shows they enjoy.

Unfortunately, OSN has refused to finalise negotiations. Due to this, and despite its best endeavours, Discovery has been forced to terminate the agreement. 

As a result, Discovery’s many fans across the Middle East will be deprived of shows including Say Yes To The Dress, Cake Boss, Gold Rush and Fast N’ Loud with immediate effect. 

The termination also means that Discovery’s channels will be removed from OSN’s partner platforms.

Discovery remains hopeful that an agreement will be reached to bring back its channels for fans across the region and will provide updates when available.
