- The company’s Streaming & Studios division will encompass Warner Bros. Television, HBO, DC Studios, and their extensive film libraries, while the Global Networks division will oversee CNN, Discovery, and TNT Sports.
- CEO David Zaslav stated that by functioning as two separate and optimized entities, the company will enable these well-established brands to benefit from increased focus and greater strategic adaptability.
