Charter Communications just added Warner Bros. Discovery’s Discovery+ to some of its Spectrum TV plans for no additional cost.
“Spectrum TV customers can activate ad-supported Discovery+, which retails for $5.99 per month, for no extra cost to begin streaming hit shows from HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet and more. Customers can also upgrade to Discovery+ (Ad-Free), which retails for $9.99 per month, by paying the $4 difference. Additionally, Spectrum customers without an eligible TV plan can also use The Spectrum App Store to purchase Discovery+ and other streaming apps à la carte,” Charter Communications said in a press release.

Most of Discovery+’s content is already on Warner’s HBO Max app, which Spectrum TV customers already have access to, but not all of it.
Discovery+ offers channels like HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery and Animal Planet, along with reality TV shows like 90 DAY FIANCE, HOUSE HUNTERS, CHOPPED, 1000-LB SISTERS, EXPEDITION UNKNOWN, GOLD RUSH, PLANET EARTH and MAGNOLIA TABLE WITH JOANN GAINES.
“Our partnership with Spectrum allows us to put Discovery+ in front of millions of customers in a way that fits naturally with how they already watch TV,” Scott Miller, President, Networks and Streaming Distribution, Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement. “By making Discovery+ available as part of Spectrum TV Select and giving customers without a traditional TV plan the ability to purchase à la carte, we’re extending the reach of our world-class portfolio and making it even more convenient for fans to watch their favorite home, food, true crime, relationships and lifestyle programming as part of their existing Spectrum experience.”
Charter already offers a large selection of apps bundled with Spectrum TV for those with Select TV plans or higher. According to Variety, the ad-supported versions of streamers include the Disney+/Hulu bundle, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max Basic With Ads, Paramount+ Essential, Peacock Premium, AMC+, ViX, Tennis Channel and Fox One. Charter estimates its “more than $125 per month in retail streaming value.”
“The inclusion of Discovery+ extends the value Spectrum TV delivers to customers with more choice and flexibility in what and how to watch,” Tom Montemagno, Executive Vice President of Programming Acquisition at Spectrum, added. “We’re meeting customers wherever they are by bringing live TV and streaming together so they can enjoy Discovery+ and other popular apps without managing separate subscriptions and with built-in cost savings.”
By adding Discovery+, Charter Communications is making their Spectrum TV plans even more valuable for their customers.
