Paramount to buy warner brothers

WORD ON THE STREET 

If Paramount is ramping up to buy Warner Brothers who owns brands like HBO HBO max could face anti-trust scrutiny. But one side bump in the road is the cancelled South Park EPISODE who have been rubbing POTUS, left, right and center the wrong way will be super happy the episode that puts them again under the spotlight won't be shown. What does that mean for writers starting out ? It means we may have to be forced to package our stories with a producer, and a known show runner to see the light of day.  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOem691jDC6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=b2IyYjZmdDE5aDVk.

What's the endgame here? One monopoly to rule us all? This sucks.

Jerrold Guadagni

This will make it even harder unfortunately

Ron Reid

Yes, Jerold but it might be an opportunity to package ourselves in our bids. But yes, that might mean longer to get projects made.

Ron Reid

Ryan Greenberg Yes, one company to RULE THEM ALL. This might be a good time for them to help approach WB who might need help with its debt. USD

Total debt on the balance sheet as of June 2025 : $34.63 Billion USD. According to Warner Bros. Discovery's latest financial reports the company's total debt is $34.63 Billion USD. A company's total debt is the sum of all current and non-current debts.

Jim Boston

Ron, to be honest, I'm not too cool with Paramount and WBD hooking up...even if it's my tough luck. (And besides, Paramount just got through taking in Skydance.)

Oh, well...

G.R. Barnett

Oh God this is not good.
