I feel like these fuckers only just merged

Warner Bros and Discovery Global, not much surprise there

The new publicly traded companies will be Warner Bros. (streaming and studios) and Discovery Global (comprising TV networks, Discovery+ and other assets).

Only the business consultants who recommended rebranding "HBO Max" to "HBO Max" (over the course of three years) could've come up with something so bold.

Points to them for not calling Warner Bros. "Discovery" and Discovery "Warner Bros.".

So they merged, fucked up a whole bunch of properties and canned others and then just split like nothing happened?

Warner Brothers > fast forward > Time Warner (when i was child) > AOL Time Warner > WarnerMedia > Warner Brothers Discovery > Warner Brothers.

Merging the 2 companies is the best idea ever!

Splitting into 2 companies is the best idea ever!

Well, which is it?

"I hate Discovery."

"This isn't the Star Trek show."

"Oh... never mind."

Hey, are we going to get the original Discovery channel back? Or any of the good ones from old cable? No? Oh well...

Damn, just lost a lot of money on my bets of "Warner Discovery" and "Brothers".

How many meetings were wasted on that

Ah, yes, I too remember AOL/Time-Warner...

“You have no idea of the physical toll that two mergers have on a company”

I totally thought this was a joke...

The people in charge are not smarter than you.

“We Fucked It Up Corp.”

That must takes a long time to decide :)

What's in a name?

Apparently a whole lot

We're at the point that any name recognition is worth serious coin
