Eurosport (formerly known as DSport) is an Indian pay television sports channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery India for the Indian subcontinent.[1] It was launched as DSport in February 2017 with a partnership between Discovery India and Lex Sportel.

On 17 March 2020, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting permitted Discovery to rebrand the channel as Eurosport.

History

The channel was initially launched as DSport in February 2017 by a partnership between Discovery India and Lex Sports, airing international sports properties ranging from horse racing to football. The channel ambitiously curated a diverse array of sporting events, aiming to capture the attention of Indian audiences with its multifaceted programming. During its initial days the channel aired Brazilian, Chinese and Portuguese football leagues along with Major League Soccer (US) and live racing from the UK and Irish tracks. In golf, the channel aired British Open (The Open Championship), US Open, PGA Championship and LPGA. Additionally, It had also acquired rugby and cycling properties for the channel.[2][3]

Due to low TRP channel was rebranded several times until 2020.

The initial logo of DSport used from February 2017 to March 2020, adapted from Eurosport logo.

In January 2020, Lex Sportel (the content provider for Dsport) parted ways with Discovery, taking their event rights from this channel and created their own channel 1Sports.[4] On 17 March 2020, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting permitted Discovery to finally rename the channel to Eurosport.[5]

The channel revealed its new brand identity, highlighting its mission to ‘Unlock the Power of Sport’. Alongside the visual identity, it also launched a soundtrack, that is a thumping heartbeat.[6]
