AUCKLAND, Today: Discovery has revealed the first of its ambitious 2022 plans for New Zealand audiences, with a 70% increase in local content, the launch of two new channels and the further expansion of its news offering and ThreeNow.

NZ-based AUNZ GM Glen Kyne said: “The transition to Discovery ANZ is complete and the network’s success in 2021 has paved the way for this new chapter in New Zealand television.
