Tips & Things to Watch For

Canada Service Shutting Down in 2026

Critical

Warner Bros. Discovery's discovery+ service in Canada will close on February 17, 2026, with a new discovery+ service launching on January 14, 2026. Canadian subscribers should be aware of this transition period and potential service disruption or plan changes.

CNN Originals Included at No Extra Cost

Pro Tip

Unlike CNN+ (which shut down), CNN Originals are included in the base Discovery+ subscription. This adds significant value as other services charge separately for news content, though this may not be widely known to subscribers primarily interested in lifestyle/reality content.

Retention Offers May Be Available When Cancelling

Pro Tip

Many streaming services, including those owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, offer retention discounts (typically 1-3 months at 50% off) when subscribers attempt to cancel. This isn't advertised but may appear during the cancellation flow or via customer service contact.
