I wonder if he’s trying to sell them to another service. Westworld only had one more season. Nevers didn’t have a chance after the allegations.

both would fit on Amazon Prime’s genre push.

they did say they want to use their content on their channels like TNT/TBS as well as sell them to other platforms. Cacs who dont understand the business they are handed and fukk it up for short term gains and that golden parachute Chapter 999999

this is like an old school move they used to do
they did with sopranos and I think entourage
he's going back to that model it seems
it also has to do with trimming this as much as possible but yeah WB is a little too big for him

People said they saddled Discovery with 50 bil in debt to do this merger :picard: . So of course he's looking for some short term gains anywhere they can get them



It's a bad move when it sullied the brand of HBO though but I'm thinking like a fan not a private equity vampire bleeding everything dry before piecing it out to be scrapped for crumbs :scust:



why the fukk would you spend the time to do 2 mergers for this endgame :dead:

According to the article, WB Discovery will be dropping an free streaming service (like Tubi or Pluto) next year and they'll be putting content they pull off of HBO & HBO Max on there.

:unimpressed: This is probably a really good money maker for them. Amazon did this shyt with FreeVee/IMDBtv

They pulled a lot of shyt of the included Prime Video sub and moved it over to IMDBtv (now FreeVee) for free with ads.

I don't agree with it but things are headed there and most won't complain since it's "free"

I did watch Bosch Legacy on there and the ads weren't bad but as more people use it they'll sell more ads and the breaks will be longer just like traditional cable is/was

Yeah I'm bout to cancel this shyt pretty soon.

Shows getting canceled (after already being renewed and sometimes even having whole seasons already shot), shows getting yanked off the service, shows being sold off to other streaming services. There's gonna be nothing left worth watching on HBO Max in a minute.

And when WBD merges the two streaming service they're gonna jack up the price for those :trash: ass Discovery shows. :francis:

Oversaturated market. Even if its free with ads nobody is looking for yet another service

Documentary film from the guy behind All Gas No Breaks/Channel 5. I'm going to watch it when it drops because those videos crack me up.
