Discovery+ joins OSN+ platform in latest streaming expansion
This development follows the extension of OSN's exclusive commercial partnership with HBO in January 2024. The agreement, which already included access to Warner Bros. films, Max Originals, and Pay 1 features, now incorporates discovery+ content as part of the broader Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) portfolio available through OSN+.
Commenting on the development, Joe Kawkabani, CEO of OSN Group, commented, 'We are thrilled to expand our arrangement with Warner Bros. Discovery, bringing their compelling real-life entertainment content to our subscribers on OSN+. This launch underscores the strength of our collaboration and our shared vision for shaping the future of streaming in MENA.'
The inclusion of Discovery+ strengthens OSN+'s positioning as a key premier home for Warner Bros. Discovery content in the MENA region. With Discovery+'s line-up of documentary, lifestyle, and reality series, the streaming platform now houses a wide range of programming from HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, and DC Studios.
Jamie Cooke, Executive Vice President & Managing Director, Central Europe, Turkey and Middle East at Warner Bros. Discovery said, 'We are delighted to complement our existing Warner Bros. Discovery offering on OSN+ with discovery+. OSN+ subscribers can now enjoy even more Warner Bros. Discovery content, whenever and wherever they want.
'We are always looking for new ways to deliver our content to fans, and this extension of our existing relationship with OSN+ is another great example of how we continue evolving our offering to reach audiences how they want to watch.'
Programmes now available via OSN+ include discovery+ originals such as On The Roam with Jason Momoa and Louder: The Soundtrack of Change, alongside docuseries like Trump: Unprecedented. Popular franchises including Gold Rush, 90 Day Fiancé, Deadliest Catch, and Wheeler Dealers are also available, in addition to Fatafeat's Arabic-language cooking content.
