I know that's it's changed to a paranormal theme, but it still would be a shame if it were to shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 132 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I don't see Comcast buying WB/Discovery in my opinion DOJ would say a big fat NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost breaking antitrust laws and would lead to several congresspeople asking the DOJ to block it. Also, what would happen to CNN and Turner Sports if this were to go through? Losing both the Travel Channel and Animal Planet would be a travesty in my opinion as both channels have been staples for decades though. They'd have to unload a bunch and streamilne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 362 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I'm not exactly thrilled of the HBO Max/Discovery+ merger into one streaming service. Business wise, it makes sense. Content wise, we have to see. I hope they don't overload on (insert family with multiple kids), "Naked and Afraid" and "My (insert weight) Pound Life." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, that’s what I’m expecting it to be. David Zaslav ran Discovery by pumping out cheaper, non-scripted stuff, and WBD has already been cutting a lot of original productions on HBO Max. The rumors about a potential sale to Comcast is definitely in speculation territory, but I don’t think it’s as far-fetched as some might think (the DOJ notwithstanding). I wish I had links, but I remember reading articles (from before the completion of the WBD merger) that talked of a potential sale of the company in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowBergen 406 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Personally there is a reason I didn’t subscribe to Discovery +. No interest on my part. If they turn HBOMax into a Service of cheap Discovery fare, they will lose subscribers including myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
