Frame 1171276608

Warner Bros. Discovery has set a Christmas deadline to choose between selling the company or splitting it into two separate entities. Despite interest from Paramount Skydance and others, CEO David Zaslav’s company has rejected offers, with potential buyers like Comcast, Apple, and Netflix eyeing its assets.

Warner Bros. Discovery has set a deadline of December 25 to make a decision on whether to sell the company or split it, as reported by CNBC. The company had previously announced plans to divide into two entities: Warner Bros., encompassing various entertainment divisions like Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Gaming Studios; and Discovery Global, which would include global television brands such as CNN, TNT Sports, Discovery, and digital platforms like Discovery+ and Bleacher Report (B/R).

Despite offers from Paramount Skydance, Warner Bros. Discovery, led by CEO David Zaslav, has declined bids for the entire company, with the latest offer rumored to be around $60 billion. Following the acquisition of WarnerMedia from AT&T for $43 billion in 2022, Comcast, Apple, and Netflix have shown interest in acquiring assets from Warner Bros. Discovery. The company is set to announce its third-quarter fiscal results on November 6.
