Discovery Emerges as New Star in Content Wars

New York Times: Discovery’s new app has taken off largely because viewers love watching people fix houses, tour diners and bicker about their relationships. Discovery says it has 12 million paid subscriptions around the world, a more than respectable start that has helped make the company’s stock among the best performing on the S&P 500 this year. The app, which was introduced on Jan. 4, has a sheer mass of content that rivals Netflix, with 55,000 episodes.
