– In primetime on Wednesday night, it was SBS Discovery’s second largest TV house after the TV4 Group in our main target group who is 15-44 years. It was a strong performance during an exceptional evening with two big final program in TV4 channels, “Sweden’s master chef” and “Biggest Loser Sweden”. But we rejoice not anyway because we know that many viewers had the opportunity to watch their favorite shows with us, for technical reasons, says Dan Panas , press officer at SBS Discovery.

Neither Telia or SBS Discovery want to comment on what the conflict that led to the canals were removed about because of confidentiality.

Source: “An important battle”

An informed source in the television industry said Wednesday Nöjesbladet that there are two strong reasons for the conflict. One main point is according to the source that Telia wants to decide which TV channels SBS Discovery’ll get to have on Telia platform, the second point is the pricing.

– The TV market is so right now that distributors pay less for linear TV channels with TV Guide. This battle is incredibly important and can also be very long lasting. Both parties have a keen interest to win.
