The Eurosport and SBS deals will give Discovery additional leverage to negotiate distribution and advertising deals for its other cable channels, said Richard Greenfield, a media analyst at BTIG Research.
The deal also gives Discovery access to Betty's library of shows that have already been shown in Britain like "Country House Rescue," in which a businesswoman helps revive sprawling British estates.
The deal for SBS Nordic, which has an enterprise value of $1.7 billion, will give Discovery 12 television networks and several radio stations, expanding the company's reach in a fast-growing market.

Shark Week content will also be pushed out to Meerkat users, via a @SharkWeek account, giving Discovery's programming another digital outlet.
The $1.45-billion deal gives Discovery the rights to the games across every TV platform, including over-the-air, pay channels, online and on mobile devices in 50 countries and territories in Europe.

The team of paleontologists led by José Carballido and Diego Pol of the Egidio Feruglio Paleontology Museum finally gave their discovery a name on Wednesday in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B Patagotitann mayorum.
