I don’t doubt anything you’re stating, but I find it tough to believe that Discovery is the dominant brand of the two. Is the network globally popular? I subscribe to it mostly for educational shows to use in the classroom, but none of its programming stands out as groundbreaking or water-cooler worthy. Most of it is very cheaply produced crap, to be honest. I might not like a lot of HBO content, but to me it’s a bigger and more recognizable.
