This is actually massive news because David Zaslav, member of the Triple Parentheses Gang, genuinely ran it into the ground post-merger, cancelling a lot of actually decent movies like Coyote vs ACME, fumbling the NBA television deal and essentially being propped up by sports as a whole, but apparently the companies most likely to buy it are Paramount, owned by Davis Ellison, son of Larry Ellison, and Comcast, owned by Brian Roberts, son of its founder Ralph Roberts, all of whom are also members of the Triple Parentheses Gang.
Merge the two services into a renamed service. Give grandfathered plans to existing memberships. Introduce new content, but gate it behind non-grandfathered-plans. New plans, obviously, have a higher price point, since, of course, they have NEW SHOWS!
It's going to Comcast. Paramount made a an offer and it was refused. I expect to hear about new WB stuff at Universal Parks soon. I mean, beside Harry Potter.
To be honest, most of this has been known for a while, but making it official is just now being said. The industry likes to keep things hush hush for so long it gets weird.
if I could, I would buy it just to bring back the good old days of Warner Bros animation. Looney tunes, Animaniacs, the DC animated universe, the one-off shows like Men in Black. fucking good times, and such a waste to see it gone or neutered with current-year messaging.
It's like the great contraction, EVERY media and entertainment company that engaged in DEI and leftist propaganda is being bought off and swallowed up by others.
Warner though, feels like it's because they fumbled DC so bad desperately trying to catch up to Marvel when they did so well with standalones like the Dark Knight trilogy and Joker.

TDK is to blame partly for that fumble despite being successful in its own right.
The Dark Knight Rises came out in 2012. You know what else came out that year? The first Avengers movie, which was still movie 6 in Phase 1 of the MCU. The Dark Knight came out in 2008 when Phase 1 started, that's how much the trilogy cost DC because they were still focusing on a standalone Batman story, again, while Marvel was building up its franchise and would consequently dominate the genre while DC was already years behind before it tried jumpstarting its own DCU run.
The best part is that Joker 2 was meant to 'quell' the identity that the first was was meant to being about in disillusioned young men on the far right (If you believe the media hype).
So Arthur Fleck getting sodomised in the showers in the sequel wonderfully graduated to everyone in the anti-ICE and No Kings rallies being pwned by Trump's bringing order and reason back into the equation.
They made their own little marionette of the 'incel' far righter and then destroyed it not knowing that they were simply lamenting their own karmic comeuppance on film.
Back on topic, DEI weakened media and it's being bought up cheaper than Argentinean beef.
I bet you’ll never guess which surname group will buy it.
The one that gets interest-free loans?
Antiseptic ... tsk tsk
Funny enough "Warner" wasn't originally their family name
Yeah it was either Wonsal" or "Wonskolaser
Like it was not already owned by them?

That's a lot of parentheses.
Merely a cohencidence
If Paramount did buy them I wonder if they would merge HBO Max and Paramount+ into one giant streaming service
Not unless they can find a way to make you pay more for it without raising too much of a stink.
They'll figure it out I'm sure.
Charge more and include more advertisements as well
“New look. Same great shows!”

See? I knew they'd figure it out 😎

I was just telling my wife this morning that entertainment monopolies just weren't fucking strong enough.

Just a reminder of what they think it's funny to do to you when they have the power.
Sort of like how turds will mash together as they circle the toilet drain.
Elon? buy them and shut them all down
He could buy it and turn it into the X-Media network.
HBO with its weird obsession revolving around blacks.
Inb4 Tencent or Saudi Arabia buys it up.
