Even after April 8th, there’s no way there will be a Paramount/WBD merger. Goldstar said it best. There is the opportunity, however, for Paramount and WBD (and most likely NBCUniversal too, so they aren’t left behind in the streaming era) to merge their streaming services into a joint-venture to compete with Netflix and Disney+.News, everyone.
According to The Media Mix (themediamix.co -- I can't link to it because it's behind a paywall), Warner Bros. Discovery is quietly telling some of their managers to hit pause on hiring, stating that there's a "start date pause" with no new employees coming on board before April.
This is notable because April 8th is the date that Warner can officially execute mergers and acquisitions activity as the tax provisions of the Reverse Morris Trust that created WBD expire; that's only 13 weeks away.
Rumor has it that they could be waiting to go forward with this proposed merger with Paramount and/or a possible selling of CNN. Sources say that the company met today in LA to discuss their 2024 strategy, with another round of catch-up meetings with senior divisional leaders.
What does that mean when he is selling his company's shares?Zazzy is now selling his own company's shares.

It isn't bad. More often than not, a CEO selling their company's shares is how they get their compensation. CEOs tend to be paid largely in shares for tax reasons (being paid in stocks and dividends lowers their tax burden) and they have scheduled selling dates planned out for months. Their stock market accounts are basically a savings account. The sale is never supposed to be based on things they learn about in a board meeting that isn’t public knowledge otherwise that delves into illegal insider trading.What does that mean when he is selling his company's shares?
Let's hope that WBD doesn't have the brilliant idea of selling it to another party that turns it into a true crime channel just for be closed at the end! (I'm totally not referring to truTV UK, nope :'))The Phone Company pretty much wiped out Tru TV but apparently it had a show still going but they've ended Tacoma FD. ‘Tacoma FD’ Canceled After Four Seasons at TruTV
Heh Tru UK was something.... alright it never stood a chance.Let's hope that WBD doesn't have the brilliant idea of selling it to another party that turns it into a true crime channel just for be closed at the end! (I'm totally not referring to truTV UK, nope :'))
I missed TruTV when they aired towing shows, also they aired police and jail shows as well. If original TruTV was around, so there would be Denver Tow and whoa, Linus ran to protect his car while guy attempted to tow for parking violation. Tow bill is expensive as Comcast cable TV subscription.2/13:The Phone Company pretty much wiped out Tru TV but apparently it had a show still going but they've ended Tacoma FD. ‘Tacoma FD’ Canceled After Four Seasons at TruTV
I admitted that I was jealous of TruTV UK because they retained original with police and jail shows while TruTV US got revamped to become a comedy channel in 2014, so they cancelled all towing shows.Let's hope that WBD doesn't have the brilliant idea of selling it to another party that turns it into a true crime channel just for be closed at the end!

Lol.I missed TruTV when they aired towing shows, also they aired police and jail shows as well. If original TruTV was around, so there would be Denver Tow and whoa, Linus ran to protect his car while guy attempted to tow for parking violation. Tow bill is expensive as Comcast cable TV subscription.
I started to watch Court TV in early 2000s with my dad when they aired police shows and TruTV transitioned to more comedy after 2008 and completely in 2014. I wasn't interested in court show when I had language deprivation and unable to understand the dialogues, so it didn't get better until I took remedial courses at college. Finally, I'm able to understand almost everything now.Lol.
I came in to watching the channel when they flipped to the stranger comedy stuff.
Good! That will not work out for anybody if that were to happen...It looks like that proposed Warner Discovery/Paramount merger is a no-go.
