Warner Bros. Discovery speeds up launch of combined streaming
Kevin Dietsch


On Warner Bros. Discovery's (NASDAQ:WBD) earnings call (still ongoing), CEO David Zaslav announced that the company's hard at work on a streaming platform to combine HBO Max and Discovery+ - and will now roll it out in spring 2023.
That's an acceleration from a planned summer 2023 launch.
The company added nearly 3M net global direct-to-consumer subscriptions in Q3, Zaslav says, and "we expect a healthy inflection with the launch of our combined service and expanded global footprint."
"We've been very hard at work. We can't wait to make the service available to consumers around the globe and get the business running on all cylinders," Zaslav said.
WBD missed expectations on top and bottom lines in its third-quarter report.
