Discovery+ streaming service to launch on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and others

Discovery+, the new streaming service from Discovery Inc., will launch Monday in the United States on services and platforms that include Amazon Fire TV and Roku, according to a source familiar with the company – two deals that eluded streaming rivals Peacock and HBO Max at their respective launches.

Discovery+ will also be available to Vodafone TV and mobile customers in 12 European markets with promotions that will vary by market, according to the source.

AT&T Inc- owned WarnerMedia launched HBO MAX in May, but not being accessible through Roku and Amazon challenged its growth. HBO Max did not become available on Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablets until Nov. 17 and on the Roku streaming platform a month later.
