The global broadcaster Discovery will shift its international HQ from Silver Spring, Maryland to New York City next year.
According to Discovery president, CEO David Zaslav, “The media industry is rapidly evolving, increasingly global, more consumer-focused and more multi-platform and Discovery must evolve with it. The decision to move our global headquarters from its founding home is one we do not make lightly. We remain unwavering in our support of the Maryland and Greater Washington, DC area and we thank the leadership of the State of Maryland, Montgomery County and, most importantly, our employees for their cooperation and understanding as we make this important next step for the long-term success of Discovery.”
Discover believes that it will help due to proximity with New York’s business houses, investment, and production partners.
Discovery was founded in Landover, Maryland in 1985. It shifted its global headquarters to Bethesda, Maryland in 1991 and then to its current headquarters building in Silver Spring in 2003. It employs approximately 1,300 people in the Silver Spring area. Its Scripps’ Knoxville headquarters houses more than 1,000.
