Warner Bros. Discovery to Keep Discovery+, in Strategy Shift

Warner Bros. Discovery has slightly altered its plan to merge HBO Max and Discovery Plus into a single super streamer. WBD has decided to keep Discovery Plus as a standalone streaming service over concerns about losing large swathes of Discovery Plus' 20 million-strong user base. Instead, the company plans to include HBO Max's entire back catalog on its new platform.
