GCN + and the app are closing up as of 19 Dec 2023. European markets will still have race coverage, but other markets will be out of luck. [GCN+ Announcement]

I tried to log in to the Discovery+ website through my tablet and VPN today to watch the Giro only to find out that mobile streaming is now only through their app. The app can’t be downloaded without changing the location of my Google Play account to the UK. It all worked yesterday, so something has…

My guess is Simon and Mia want GCN to become profitable ASAP after buying it back. They saw the app and website as too much work and trimmable fat to the point where they’d rather stick the docs on YouTube and do the math on a 30% fee on subscriptions staying with Google. So being in a hurry + 30% =…

[image] patricksudol: Manon is leaving GCN. :frowning_face: I thought she was a good presenter and enjoyed the shows and challenges she was on. She also brought some diversity of experience (eg track) and gender, handling the female-specific topics that males should also be aware of to help…
