LW5 TORPEDOED BY MERGER?

Here’s the rumor that’s going around.

Okay, here's the RUMOR re the #WBD presentation on Thursday

– #HBOMax will be folded INTO #DiscoveryPlus
not vice versa, probably as #HBO tab

– getting rid of #HBOMax scripted, overall streaming focusing on unscripted

– #HBO stays as is, as a premium cable channel

It looks like HBO Max sleeps with the fishes and most (all?) original content associated with it.  This unfortunately likely includes Lethal Finale (Lethal Weapon 5).

A major restructuring of HBO Max and Discovery+ is expected to be announcedhttps://t.co/JAtmYLJlcF
