Discovery, marking a significant milestone as we move forward together,” said Stewart Johnston, SVP Content and Sales, Bell Media. “With our commitment to develop co-productions, and the extended pipeline of extremely valuable content for subscribers, we’ve ensured Crave is well-positioned for continued growth and success.”

Bell Media and WBD also reveaked that they have settled all matters in their recent dispute regarding Bell Media’s suite of Discovery-branded channels. Details regarding changes to Bell Media-owned Discovery channels will be made available in the coming weeks.
