<br>"We strongly believe there is capacity for fairly large synergies if WBD's direct networks were integrated with Comcast SpinCo," composed Ehrlich, utilizing the market term for standard television.<br> |
|||
<br>"Further, our company believe WBD's standalone streaming and studio assets would be an attractive takeover target."<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |

<br>Under the brand-new structure for Warner Bros Discovery, the cable television organization including TNT, Animal Planet and CNN will be housed in a system called Global Linear Networks.<br> |

<br>The restructuring reflects an inflection point for the media industry, as financial investments in streaming services such as Warner Bros Discovery's Max are lastly settling.<br> |
|||
<br>"Streaming won as a behavior," said Jonathan Miller, chief executive of digital media investment company Integrated Media. "Now, it's winning as a service."<br> |
|||
<br>[Brightcove CEO](https://palkwall.com/read-blog/27740_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) Marc DeBevoise said Warner Bros Discovery's [brand-new business](https://www.opentx.cz/index.php/U%C5%BEivatel:JuliDettmann98) structure will distinguish growing studio and streaming properties from rewarding however shrinking cable television TV business, providing a clearer financial investment photo and most likely [setting](https://www.athleticzoneforum.com/read-blog/770_missouri-sports-betting-ballot-measure-approved-by-voters.html) the stage for a sale or spin-off of the [cable television](https://aceme.ink/read-blog/1646_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) unit.<br> |
|||
<br>The media veteran and adviser anticipated Paramount and others may take a similar course.<br> |

<br>CEO David Zaslav, a veteran deal-maker who led Discovery through its acquisition of Scripps Networks [Interactive](https://uptoscreen.com/read-blog/74329_why-every-cricket-fan-need-to-try-the-all-cricket-id-gaming-platform.html) before getting the even larger target, AT&T's WarnerMedia, is positioning the company for its next chess relocation, [wrote MoffettNathanson](http://www.pickmemo.com/read-blog/11315_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) expert Robert Fishman.<br> |
|||
<br>"The concern is not whether more pieces will be moved or knocked off the board, or if additional debt consolidation will take place-- it refers who is the buyer and who is the seller," composed Fishman.<br> |
|||
<br>Zaslav signaled that [situation](https://bookedgetaways.com/2024/12/30/how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform/) during Warner Bros [Discovery's](https://wow.t-mobility.co.il/read-blog/14_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) call last month.

<br>"The structure modification would make it much easier for WBD to offer off its direct TV networks," eMarketer expert Ross Benes stated, referring to the cable business. "However, discovering a buyer will be difficult. The networks are in debt and have no signs of development."<br> |
|||
<br>In August, Warner Bros Discovery documented the worth of its TV assets by over $9 billion due to unpredictability around costs from cable and satellite distributors and [sports betting](https://collegetalks.site/read-blog/11744_tennessee-sports-betting-top-4-legal-betting-sites-in-2024.html) rights renewals.<br> |
