Here is what the page “Discovery+ Raises Price Just a Week After Skydance Merger” contains. Discovery+ is increasing its subscription price only one week after completing its merger with Skydance Media, a move that has caught the attention of cord-cutters and streaming analysts alike. The ad-free tier is now $8.99 per month, up from $6.99, while the ad-supported plan remains at $4.99. This 29% price hike comes as the newly combined company looks to streamline costs and boost revenue following the $8 billion deal that brought together Warner Bros.
Discovery's factual and reality content with Skydance's scripted entertainment and sports assets. The timing is notable because Discovery+ has historically been positioned as a lower-cost complement to Max, the company's flagship streaming service. By raising the price so soon after the merger, executives are signaling that the two services will continue to operate separately, but with a sharper focus on profitability. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
