What's the point of keeping this bozo around? It's crazy how terrible the leadership in this country is right now.

Basically what is happening now. To spin off the assets and hoping there is a buy for one or both. I do think someone will want HBO/Streaming Service/Studios. As for the cable networks, I don’t think anybody wants to invest in cable anymore and the streamers don’t need it essentially.

Gonna be interesting to see whoever buys WB and/or Discovery Global how sports will be affected. I didn’t think the Inside the NBA/ESPN deal would be long term anyway considering Ernie is mostly likely the 1st to retire. But whoever gets it, I can’t see them keeping that licensing deal in tact.

Typical debt package play. He was there to significantly cut costs, acquire cheap assets (massive increase in reality TV programming), sell off liabilities, and then polish the most attractive package for someone to purchase. And he did it. Dude is a piece of shyt who literally hates art but it was never about quality or running things well. The minute he walked in the door pushing creatives out and altering show budgets I knew it was over.

Do you know how long that licensing deal is? Cause the trade for college football games was multi year right?

The length of the current deal, but there is an out if any of the guys retire or leave. But I can’t see Paramount, Netflix, or Comcast agreeing to continue the agreement if they get control of the Discovery Global assets.

He's one of the reasons we don't get original shows greenlighted and more reality shows. He's trying to turn Warner Bros into a low cost reality show factory. Ever wonder why we don't get shows like the sopranos or the wire? He's that guy.


Rhe first thing his dumbass shpuld have done.

Was change the name to match his direction. Company shpuld be called discovery brothers. As dude thinks to highly of reality tv. While not knowing how to really make reality tv.
beyond ruining the price structure for homes in america with canadian programming.

Dude is a complete government corporate whore welfare queen.


With no idea how to create or run a real media company.
Plus has no idea how to really make reality tv at the home of reality tv.
Evident in not knowing.
how to make the origin channel of reality tv in mtv work.


How white people allow these grifters, liars and fraud cheats into positions of power is the issue.
