TORONTO and NEW YORK – Discovery Inc. and LG Electronics Canada today announced discovery+ is now available on LG Smart TVs in Canada.
“LG Smart TV owners in Canada can now access discovery+ on their Smart TV’s webOS platform by opening the discovery+ app using their remote or, when available, by saying “discovery plus” directly into their LG Magic Remote,” a press release explains.
This provides users with direct access to discovery+ and its over 200 exclusive original series from genres including true crime, home, relationships, food, paranormal and nature.
“Viewers will also have access to 60,000 episodes of current and classic shows from Discovery’s iconic portfolio of networks, including HGTV, Food Network, TLC, ID, OWN, Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Magnolia Network, and the largest streaming collection of natural history content from the BBC,” the press release says.
In Canada, the streamer also offers over 1,000 episodes from Discovery series that are subtitled in French.
“We are thrilled to add LG Smart TVs to the growing list of platforms that discovery+ is available on in Canada and provide LG customers with direct access to the definitive real life streaming service,” said Gabriel Sauerhoff, senior vice-president, digital distribution and commercial partnerships at Discovery, Inc.
“LG has long been a valued partner and as our relationship with them continues to expand, we are very excited to be able to reach more of their customers across the globe.”
“The arrival of the discovery+ app on LG webOS Smart TVs, delivers a new range of premium, educational and inspiring content to LG TV owners,” said Matthew Durgin, head of North America smart TV partnerships at LG Electronics.
“LG Smart TVs truly elevate the home entertainment experience with access to the most anticipated and sought-after content delivered with critically-acclaimed picture quality the way the creators intended it to be seen. We are proud to partner with discovery+ to bring this content to LG TV owners.”
