Discovery’s OTT service DPlay has now launched as a beta product in Denmark, Italy, and Sweden, following last year’s start in Norway. Discovery Networks said that plans firmly in place to take DPlay to additional markets before the end of 2015. In addition, Discovery Networks is rolling out a new version of its Eurosports Player. “Discovery Communications has a 30-year history of nurturing viewers with the highest quality entertainment that the whole family can enjoy together. Building on our leadership in pay-TV channels, which are still growing at a strong pace, we are also aggressively launching digital, direct-to-consumer products in key markets, with a goal of reaching one million subscribers by 2017,” said JB Perrette, president of Discovery Networks International. http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2015/06/04/discovery-goes-ott-in-nordics-and-italy-europe-next/   http://www.digitaltveurope.net/378011/discovery-makes-euro-ott-play/
