I just want to know what this means for HBO Max lol

Is this good news or bad news for the #RestoreTheSnyderVerse folks?

[CyberpunkCentral]

Would be funny if Bob Iger became the new CEO of WB.

It will be another merger of app's at some point, which would mean a name change.

What about those subs through AT&T?

I know people hate Grace but this is a great explainer as to what it all means -

Warner Media & Discovery Merger BREAKDOWN - Jason Kilar out, David Zaslav in! AT&T Explained! - YouTube

As to the biggest question which consumes this site - what will happen to the SnyderVerse? She says it will depend upon which execs keep their jobs and which execs get hired.

Holy shit, nails on a chalkboard. Can't do 14 minutes of that.

Yeah I will just read it for myself. The thumbnails she makes, just ugh.

I actually like the new Discovery app so I hope it survives this.

Zaslav said they'll consider offering a bundle in the same vein as Disney+/ESPN/Hulu or possibly combining all of their assets into one streaming service.

I get HBO Max for "free" since I'm an AT&T cable customer. I wonder how long that will last.

Kilar is going to be out, for sure. 0% chance he keeps his job in the long time and I'd be shocked if he's not out by the end of the calendar year.

I wonder what they would charged for one service app? 15 now would they chance it at 20 dollars?

I dunno, they're releasing an ad supported version of HBO Max later this year so their pricing model might be completely different soon.

Since I'm already paying $20 for both Discovery and Max separately I can see it happening. Maybe a dollar price break if you bundle.

That could be painful, I saw a few tweets with people saying that if the AT&T deal is done they will not pay for HBO Max. Going to be interesting as this plays out.
