That said, we've still got another three years. I guess my kids are now going to be stuck on the delay HBO imposes for new episodes airing on PBS. There's no way I'm subscribing to Discovery+.

skillzdadirecta Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Warner Bros. just does not give a crap about its streaming service, huh? WWW.AVCLUB.COM A new report sheds light on HBO Max's indifferent approach to keeping, say, The Lord Of The Rings films as its exclusive property Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Quote Gunnar Wiedenfels, Warner-Discovery’s newly minted CFO, laid out the idea during a recent conference: “We have a ton of content that has been sitting idly for just purely principle reasons,” Wiedenfels said, noting that the Amazon deal was a non-exclusivity window that might have even drawn some viewers back to HBO Max. It’s a surprisingly compelling philosophy, asking, basically, what HBO Max actually gets from keeping a bunch of exclusive content locked away for itself. Quote Mind you, the company’s transition into this mindset has been extremely ugly—buzz-sawing through already commissioned (or nearly completed) projects, and treating creators who were working for them in good faith like total garbage. There’s no reason, beyond a frenzy for budget cuts, that CEO David Zaslav couldn’t have rolled out this transition more humanely, honoring the work that had already been ordered before walking back levels of exclusive content production. But, nevertheless, there’s something at least novel in seeing a company approach its intellectual property not as a bludgeon it can use to smash its enemies into submission, which has been the norm in streaming since pretty much the moment Disney+ barged onto the scene. That's certainly one way to look at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know folks whose projects just got cut while they were working on them. One that I was working on didn't, but we have no idea if we're getting a second season. Nobody wants to deal with them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I've been trying to keep my ear to the ground about anything involving season 3 of Warrior. It only began production a couple months ago. I hope it didn't get axed, but the hope is tepid. The show wasn't exactly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastletonSnob Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I really don't understand WarnerMedia's strategy of merging HBO Max and Discovery Plus. Why not just offer them and Boomerang+ as a bundle, like Disney does with Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+? That way, Mom can watch her HGTV and TLC shows, Dad can watch The Sopranos and Game of Thrones, and the kids can watch cartoons. How is WarnerMedia so bad at business that they can't think of something that obvious? How brain-dead are the people in charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
