  1. So WarnerDiscovery now wants to merge with Paramount Global.

    Because apparently what the world needs now is even more media consolidation.

    This is more than just a merger between two big Hollywood studios. It's a merger between two conglomerates that themselves were created through the merger of big media conglomerates.

    Paramount Global came about through the merger of CBS and Viacom.

    Along with Paramount Pictures, it also owns CBS in the US, Channel Ten in Australia, and Channel Five in the UK.

    Oh, and also MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, VH1, Showtime, Comedy Central, Miramax Films, United International Pictures, Pop TV, and CMT, among many other assets.

    WarnerDiscovery was formed from the merger of Discovery Inc with WarnerMedia, which itself was formed by merging Time Inc with Warner Communications, and then Turner Broadcasting.

    Along with Warner Brothers, it owns CNN, DC Comics, The Oprah Winfrey Network, HBO, Cartoon Network, TBS, TNT, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, New Line Cinema, Castle Rock Entertainment, and a lot more.

    And all that will be owned by one mega-corp if this deal goes through.

    Now whose interest would such a deal serve?

    Consumers? Creatives? Employees?

    Or just Wall Street...

  6. Also let’s not forget that #CartoonNetwork is probably keeping productions in limbo to protect them from being mishandled by the #Discovery + #WarnerBros #WarnerMedia merger.

    Anything that hasn’t been cancelled should be viewed as a valuable property that the company is waiting to resume production on once corporate restructuring is complete, and the new streaming service is launched.

  7. @Marbleturtle @Rasp I'm actually a fan of the #WarnerMedia merger of #Warner and #Discovery...it will add some much needed simplicity to the company. They were doing a lot of things well, but they were definitely doing too much, leading to things like the sloppy handling of the #DCEU, and the terrible release strategy of both #InfinityTrain and #SummerCampIsland

    It may lead to the company making moves I don't like, like turning #CartoonNetwork into a spiritual successor to #Noggin, or potentially getting rid of the current #DCEU altogether instead of fixing it, but at the end of the day a narrower focus will lead to better content

  11. How AT&T helped build far-right One America News

    OAN founder and chief executive Robert Herring Sr has testified that the inspiration to launch OAN in 2013 came from AT&T executives.

    “They told us they wanted a conservative network,” Herring said during a 2019 deposition seen by Reuters. “They only had one, which was Fox News, and they had seven others on the other [leftwing] side. When they said that, I jumped to it and built one.”

    Since then, AT&T has been a crucial source of funds flowing into OAN, providing tens of millions of dollars in revenue, court records show. Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, according to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant.
