Bloodbath at WarnerMedia

Hopefully Bill Maher stays on air. That’s all I care about.

I hope that idiot, contrarian, faux liberal Maher gets the axe and I wouldn't mind being the one wielding it, literally or figuratively.

800! Jeez

What I don't understand is, HBO Max underwhelmed because it lacks new content, yet these layoffs will affect the content-producing sectors of WarnerMedia the most

What a clusterfuck.

"Customer confusion over who is eligible get HBO Max, given the existence of multiple HBO-branded offerings in the market, has clouded the launch. "

I completely agree. It started with HBO Go, then came HBO Now and now there's HBO Max.

I'm an HBO Go customer via cable TV account. First they announced that HBO Go wasn't going to change and that HBO Max was another service. Then suddenly I get told that my account would be converted to HBO Max. Then I log into HBO Max only to find out that you have to use the primary account's log in (I share with someone) - which is absolutely ridiculous as they are the only streaming service that requires this.

That’s All Folks!

More, more! Again, again!

Yeah Im still lost about HBO Max.

Well the good thing about these entertainment layoffs is disgruntled ex-employees usually spill scandalous insider info about celebrities and producers online!

Bill Maher’s show was renewed by HBO for two more years.

R1 = Ann Coulter

Yakko Wakko and Dot are a bit concerned.

The problem is always that old greedy people are in charge and don't know how to successfully expand their empires in these ever so fast changing times. It's not them who pay the price, but the underlings and lower tier workers.

Buying a property and then thinking that this will be enough to make more money never works. You should know the product you're selling, who you are selling it to, and how it's distributed. If you don't know any of these things you fuck it up for everybody else.

Op, what is this 'pooch' you mention?

I hope TCM is okay.

Time to break up all of these media megaliths. Every single one. They are a threat to a civil society.

AT&T was drowning in debt even before it bought Time-Warner and then added $40 billion more with that purchase. Since then it has been cutting everywhere in an attempt to slash some of that debt. They have been selling off foreign assets and cutting personnel. DirecTV owned by AT&T has been losing customers every since AT&T bought it. People are cutting the cord on cable and satellite, the competition in mobile phones has cut margins. If you add up the cost of all the companies that SouthwesternBell purchased, including AT&T which then took the AT&T name, the company today isn't worth what they paid for all those companies, not even close.

What? I'm MGM property, bitches! (And I mean that literally.)
