Discover Plus

Exactly! Just saw on 2 programs I watch that new episodes will appear solely on Discovery  +. So why should I continue to pay for cable? I already had to buy Norton because I don't trust Comcast security. Now their channels won't show new episodes?

You are aware that Comcast PAYS Discovery Networks for the right to carry their channels. There is typically a multi-year agreement involved. If Discovery Networks reduces the worth of their channels, then it's up to them and Comcast to come to a new agreement to reduce costs. Comcast currently still has to pay Discovery Networks the same amount, no matter how few people watch the channels.

And again, if you are mad about losing shows, send your complaints to Discovery Networks:

 The app has been out for a week. Check the guide to see if they are still there. Most are.

Discovery+ is a streaming platform with over 55,000 episodes from 2,500 shows.

This is a subscription service.  Those 55,000 episodes from 2,500 shows are reruns.  Nothing new there.  However, there will be new content exclusive to Discovery+ channels.

This really is nothing different from Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, etc.  You're not losing any channels that are already out there.

already seeing discovery move content, not channels, behind their pay wall. This is going to certainly have me and many others seriously considers the need for cable TV. 

I'm in total agreement. You can't charge the same if you can't deliver the new episodes.
