“We are very pleased that we have now found a solution to this situation and that Telia's all customers can see our channels again. We have entered into a long-term and forward-looking partnership with Telia, which ensures that their customers have access to all our channels, ”says Nicklas Norrby, CEO of Discovery Networks Sweden, according to the press release.
The channels that Telia customers now receive are Channel 5, Channel 9, Channel 11, Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2, Discovery Channel, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, TLC and Discovery Science. Telia also has the opportunity to resell the play service Dplay.
Channel 5 and the other channels were shut down for 770,000 Telia customers on Tuesday, as part of the long conflict over distribution agreements between Telia and Discovery.
