Studios lot in Burbank, according to the individual.
An expected topic will be layoffs, as reports by Insider and other sources reported that the merger of AT&T’s WarnerMedia and Discovery would include at least $3 billion of annual “cost synergies,” a term which is often synonymous with layoffs.Zaslav did not address the issue of layoffs in his statement when the deal closed on Friday, instead opting to pump up the creative potential of the merged entity.“Today’s announcement marks an exciting milestone not just for Warner Bros. Discovery but for our shareholders, our distributors, our advertisers, our creative partners and, most importantly, consumers globally,” said Zaslav in his statement. “With our collective assets and diversified business model, Warner Bros.
Discovery offers the most differentiated and complete portfolio of content across film, television and streaming,” he continued. “We are confident that we can bring more choice to consumers around the globe while fostering creativity and creating value for shareholders. I can’t wait for both teams to come together to make Warner Bros.
