IN THE NEWS

Discovery CEO David Zaslav pointed a stern finger at sports programmers during the company’s Q3 earnings call yesterday. “One of the things that has stopped the growth of cable is the price of all that sports,” he said during the call, in which he said Discovery lost about 2 percent of its subscribers in the third quarter, a trend he expects will continue. “The biggest impediment now is the price of cable in the US,” he said, which has been rising “mostly due to high sports fees.” Zaslav also noted AT&T’s new DirecTV Now service will carry a majority of Discovery programs and services, which account for “about 85 percent” of Discovery’s domestic revenues.
