K.J. Yossman Sky boss Dana Strong has said she is “optimistic” that Warner Discovery will renew its content deal with the European cable service when it expires in three years.

Sky distribute a number of HBO shows such as “White Lotus” and “Succession” throughout Europe and also have co-production deals with Warner Discovery on shows including “House of the Dragon.” “We have a very long history of partnership with Warner and we think we have represented that content extremely well and will bring brands and fandom and audiences for that content very well,” she said during a panel at the Royal Television Society conference in Cambridge, U.K. “We’re really well known for creating environments where our partners can get more economic benefit by working with us than working against us.” “We bring audiences efficiently to content and we allow everybody to share in the economic benefits of that including the consumer who gets to pay a better price because we’re able to aggregate services,” she continued, citing partnerships with Netflix, Paramount Plus, Warner and Universal that have turned Sky into a one-stop shop for consumers. “So we’re quite optimistic that the logic, I guess you would say, of doing business together so that both parties have a better outcome in the market — we’ll be able to find our way through that,” Strong added. “And actually I think Warner and David Zaslav have gone on record complimenting Sky on its extraordinary success on distribution in our markets.
