Fubo loses Warner Bros. Discovery channels after deal falls through [Update]

A representative from Fubo has confirmed that WBD channels will remain on the platform in Canada.

Discovery (WBD) channels after failing to renegotiate with the media giant.

In a blog post, Fubo accused WBD of offering “above-market rates for its content” despite its efforts to “negotiate in good faith.” According to Fubo, this is an example of WBD’s “abuse of massive market power that ultimately limits consumer choice.”

In response, a WBD spokesperson told The Verge that it “proposed an extension of our current agreement, with no changes or price increases, that would allow Fubo to continue carrying these networks,” but Fubo ultimately turned it down.

Of course, these sorts of public squabbles aren’t uncommon in the media space, but it’s still unfortunate that Fubo users lose out on the content because both companies seemingly want more money.
