I don't get it because the boomers that watched all that died during the pandemic. All these corporations are chasing ratings that they killed off building ratings for 6 years ago.

The model of cable/network news has been over for a while but they just refuse to accept it. They will live like Logan Roy AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

Gal Gadot is back as wonder woman cause israel I assume

>>218234031
Agreed. The goyim need to stop paying attention.

>>218234046
One is a broadcast network and the other is a cable channel. Also, CBS news and CNN had a working relationship in the past.

>>218234088
>because the boomers that watched all that died during the pandemic
They didn't. They survived in their walled gardens while essential workers were spreading covid to the lowest class boomers who were abandoned in old folks homes. Then you have Gen X who still watches that shit religiously and they aren't going anywhere for multiple decades

both outcomes were shit. 1 is just more reddit-approved than the other one. who cares about any of this it's all the same in the end

>>218234077
>Paramount, owned by zionist/conservative kikes, is going to let CNN become more liberal

fucking retard

>>218234188
I only like the Paramount deal because it makes reddit cry. Maybe we can get less woke shit too, but judging by Starfleet Academy, I won't hold my breath. Plus I don't trust Netflix to keep their word on theatrical releases. Also, I'm not a kike, and I really don't give a shit about israel jews and muslims.

>>218233960
Does this include WB games?

>>218234249
Yes

>>218234236
He likely means spunoff into its own separate company. That shit was already going to happen under WBD and/or Netflix anyway.

>>218234249
It would be for everything. The film/tv studio, the game studio, HBO/HBOMax, all the cable channels.

>>218233960
>Warner says paramount offer is insufficient compared to Netflix

Paramount/WBD will result in far more layoffs and less getting made than Netflix/WBD. Apple would've been the least bad option, but they don't care.

>>218234291
paramount+ is gonna be massive

Why do they want Warner Bros so much?

>>218234271
No, Paramount wants to keep the cable channels. Skydance didn't even bother spinning off the unprofitable cable channels they took in the Paramount deal. Plus old man Ellison wants CNN.

Good get :)

that's what you get when you're buddies with the admin
>>218234303
they added in more guarantees I believe like paying the 2.8 billion netflix gets for the switch, waiving a couple billion paramount might've needed to pay over the debt, etc.

Netflix acquisition would have probably resulted in better kino

Netflix really does suck now. Stranger Things was one of the last shows that kept me there. Squid Game is done, Ozark is done, Witcher turned to shit. I watch more stuff on AppleTV/HBOMax/Hulu/Paramount+ than I do Netflix in the last couple years. If Netflix did not have the rights to new Sony films I'd rarely open the app.

They've made at least 3 of my top 10 series of the last decade. They've made a LOT of trash too but they're at least capable of decent programming sometimes, unlike Paramount that literally just makes boomer slop and won't stop fucking ruining Star Trek.

>>218234025
I hope Ted uses that money to just create competing franchises for every warner ip.

>>218234046
Don't worry goyim, now that they own 80% of all media now, things will get less woke now. Isn't that what you wanted? Also Iran is just a week away from a nuclear bomb!

>>218234704

>>218234680

You still have Disney, Comcast, Netflix, Apple, and Amazon. This deal doesn't come anywhere close to 80% of the media.

>>218234704
>>218234580
I forgot about Ripley, that was actually insanely good too

>>218234540
I'm going to be the negative nancy and tell you all that you're certifiable if you think this is positive for animation
well it wasn't either way but ellison has to cut a lot more fat than netflix to make this deal even remotely viable long term and paramount only likes what they believe are easy winners
>>218234642
they could've gotten that even if netflix had won this part of the deal since netflix wasn't touching the discovery/cable side
they wanted the hbo warner side for catalog/ips too

So now what?

>>218234046
Nobody watches either so it doesn't matter

>>218234329
>>218234642
It's even funnier when you read that netflix didn't want it and all they wanted was MAX and the IPs
paramount was pretty much forced to buy everything for more than netflix was offering just for max/ip

Mindhunter is also great since we're talking about Fincher

None of this shit matters. It's just jews fighting over who is going to have more control over the media. You can't make an argument that the kikes who make Transformers are better than the kikes who make Stranger Things and vice versa.

>>218234717
CBS, Time Warner and all affiliates, Warner Bros, and Tik Tok. Seems pretty encompassing to me

>>218234305

Highly unlikely, Paramount has the new ultra-faggy Star Trek series greenlit, produced, and released under its "conservative" vision. They're still producing libslop and are unlikely to unfag anything else.

>>218234650
K-pop was entirely Sony, Netflix just bought it after Sony abandoned it

>Two zionists who no one had ever heard of until a few years ago now own CBS, WB, and tiktok

we're all NPCs

>>218234749
So now you fags never wanted it? I'm glad paramount is getting it. Netflix is the worst of the two

Has Paramount made ANYTHING good in the Paramount+ era?

>>218234837
south park spent the entire last season mocking the trump admin and paramount was fine with it
the cnn/cbs stuff has really obscured the ellisons money first attitude outside of the news section

So, they are going to just crumble from the combined debt right?

>>218234889
almost certainly
good chance netflix comes around in a year or two and picks up paramount + WB for pennies on the dollar

>>218234843
Yes? And if they hadn't, sony would've sold it to a lower bidder or just shelved the project. So once again, netflix is the one delivering the content, hence why they're credited with it.

>>218234085
Better than left wing propaganda

>>218234760
One broadcast network CBS, and a bunch of cable channels with dwindling viewership. Disney owns ABC and a bunch of cable channels, Comcast owns NBC and a bunch of cable channels until they spun them off this year because they were losing money. Disney merged their massive studio with another massive studio in 20th Century Fox. This Paramount/WB deal does not come anywhere close to 80% of the media.

>>218234883

Apple and Amazon can run a streaming service at a loss if their other products are massively successful. Amazon will probably buy Peacock because Universal is struggling. They would do that just as a roundabout way of owning The Office and Jurassic Park.

>>218235769
>Apple TV (will be absorbed by someone)

Those are parts of two of the most valuable companies in the world. Why on Earth would they be absorbed by someone else? If anything they could absorb a smaller company. Amazon already bought MGM.

He wanted to and they said no, that's why he spent his cachet with FOX to make the Orville. The irony being that they still went and made an even more sitcom-y version of the Orville with Lower Decks. I am guessing the real issue was that Kurtzmann wouldn't have been able to bully Seth around (he's worth like a quarter billion and has more shows running that Kurtzmann does), just like he couldn't bully Fuller around and so Fuller left before Season 1 of DISCO was even finished being made.

>>218233992
No joke.... this is kind of true. Paramount was most likely bluffing. They can't afford this. They were just trying to make Netflix spend as much as possible in the hopes of hurting them. It's the same as when someone tried to drive an auction up to make someone else pay more. It's very dangerous.

in reality the only way they can't afford it is if the AI bubble pops before this is all finalized and ellison loses most of his fortune

I'm not saying they don't want the company. I'm saying that they knew they couldn't afford it, and made a last desperate play. Which I think will bite them in the ass. Paramount cannot afford this.

>>218236740
It depends on how much money daddy Ellison is willing to part with to keep it, and how much Saudi funds they get for the rest. Larry Ellison is 81 and wants to give his son a media empire.

The only way Paramount gets truly fucked is if the AI bubble pops within the next few years. Oracle's currently high valuation due to AI is what has caused Larry Ellison to be worth about $200 billion. And this has given him the room to buy tiktok and help finance his son's media acquisitions.

>>218236884

This whole thing is for David Ellison to get his own media empire thanks to his wealthy daddy. You can hate the guys politics or not, but he loves movies and movie theaters. Netflix said they would allow WB films to continue to release in theaters, but looking at how they run their company, I don't trust them.

Nta but yet its ironic that Paramount has lost billions in streaming with Paramount+ which nobody gives a fuck about. Warner+Netflix would have been an empire to rival Disney. Most likely it would have killed other streaming services and would have provided a way for more Netflix theatrical releases and physical releases.

List of media companies by revenue:
>Comcast Corporation (CMCSA): ~$123–124 billion
>The Walt Disney Company (DIS): ~$94–96 billion
>Sony Group Corporation (SONY): ~$90 billion
>Netflix, Inc. (NFLX): ~$40–45 billion
>Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD): ~$37–38 billion
>Paramount Global (PARA): ~$28–29 billion

This merger puts the combined Paramount-WB ahead of Netflix, but behind the big 3. Of course most of the Sony revenue is from their electronics division, so the new Paramount-WB is behind Comcast and Disney.

Yes, but they are obviously still shit. Netflix's #1 goal was to end theaters. And the classic Warner library in the hands of a streaming only company would have been awful. We would have seen no more physical media from them either.

The real reason people stealth defend Netflix is because they hate the Ellisons for being Trump aligned. I don't give a fuck about any of that, but they will project their direction brained political mind virus onto me because they can't stand that they lost. The seethe is palpable in this thread.

So we are down to three studios. Paramount, Universal and Disney. I suppose it makes sense. Everything always boils down to a big three in the end. Funny thing is, all three of them will fail in the long-term, and be swallowed up by the big 1: netflix.

Sadly, Netslop is why this is happening. They tried to save a venerable studio from its inevitable fate. To no avail. The inexorable will take place in this time and space, except not today.

What is the point of massively expensive company buyouts like this? Does paramount really think they can turn it around and use the IP's to profit more than they paid?

you can scuttle it and try to integrate its most valuable assets in your main companies
off the top of my head as a quick example: UFC buying strikeforce out (and PRIDE) and taking its most valuable fighters and putting them into the main roster so you can have a bunch of superfights and they instantly made a shitload of money from them while everyone else got let go after their contracts expired

>>218239231
