We are so cooked

Zaslav has gotta be stopped

Bruh WB so down bad

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav met with Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish on Tuesday in New York City to discuss a possible merger, Axios has learned from multiple sources.

Zaslav also has spoken to Shari Redstone, who owns Paramount's parent company, about a deal. WBD's market value was around $29 billion as of Wednesday, while Paramount's was just over $10 billion, so any merger would not be of equals.

The meeting between Zaslav and Bakish, which sources say lasted several hours, took place at Paramount's headquarters in Times Square.

The duo discussed ways their companies could compliment one another. For example, each company's main streaming service — Paramount+ and Max — could merge to better rival Netflix and Disney+.

It's unclear whether WBD would buy Paramount Global or its parent company, National Amusements Inc. (NAI), but a source familiar with the situation says that both options are on the table.

WBD is said to have hired bankers to explore the deal.

WB

It’s legitimately joever

The f***

oh its a merger not a buyout

doubt congress or Disney lets this happen tho

warner should just take a breather tbh. they had suuuuch a good year (outside of anything dc related) pretty much every movie was a success

Media and Music is absolutely f***ed.

it seems like both industries are about to hit a hard reset soon

nothing about the way either one is operating is viable in the long term.

I thought Universal was gonna swoop in ngl

Warnermount so soon !!!

This is terrible news tho lmao

oh they definitely next. wouldn't be surprised if they join this merger

That DEFINITELY not clearing Congress lmao

A merger between 2? Maybe

3???? Might be a step too far

streaming seemed like the wave earlier but no one is doing well.

Having one streaming platform would be fire tho ngl

HBO and showtime owned by the same people

Ngl it doesn't matter anymore man

SpongeBob and Bugs Bunny at the same place is hilarious

Funny enough Paramount just made a bid to them for a coyote vs acme movie last week

that is an awful idea
