The distribution of the Discovery and Eurosport pay-TV channels will not be discontinued at the turn of the year, as DNA has reached an agreement with the television company Discovery regarding the distribution of the channels.

The distribution of the Discovery and Eurosport channels included in DNA’s channel packages was at risk of being discontinued in the beginning of January. The risk has now been eliminated, as DNA and Discovery have today signed an agreement on the continuation of channel distribution. The discontinuation would have affected the viewing of many channels on cable and terrestrial networks as well as IPTV and mobile services.

“We are very pleased to have come to an agreement with Discovery and to be able to continue distributing the popular channels to our customers without interruption. We can now set our sights on the upcoming Winter Olympics, which can be viewed comprehensively by DNA networks’ customers,” says Pekka Väisänen, Senior Vice President of DNA’s Consumer Business.

The discontinuation would have applied to the following channels: Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, Discovery HD Showcase, Discovery Science, Discovery World, Investigation Discovery, Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2.

DNA is Finland’s largest cable operator and the leading pay-TV provider in both cable and terrestrial networks.

Tutkimus: Moni pitää älylaitteiden omaa tietoturvaa riittävänä, vaikka se ei tarjoakaan riittävää suojaa2.7.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote

Suomalaiset kokevat tietoturvan entistä tärkeämmäksi ja kaikkia koskettavaksi asiaksi. Samalla yhä useampi jättää älylaitteensa suojaamatta tietoturvauhilta ja kokee tietoturvaratkaisut kalliiksi, selviää DNA:n teettämästä Digitaalinen elämä -kyselytutkimuksesta. Noin kolmasosa (35 %) suomalaisista luottaa siihen, että laitteiden oma tietoturva on riittävä. Asiantuntija pitää tätä huolestuttavana, sillä älylaitteiden tietoturva ei itsessään ole tarpeeksi kattava.

Survey: Many consider their smart devices' security sufficient, even though it does not provide adequate protection2.7.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Press release

Finns view cybersecurity as a topic that is increasingly important and universal. However, more individuals leave their smart devices unprotected against security threats, feeling that security solutions are too expensive, according to DNA’s Digital Life 2025 survey. Approximately one-third (35%) of Finns trust that their devices' built-in security is sufficient. This is concerning, as the security of smart devices alone is not comprehensive enough.
