This time next year, the corporate entity known as Warner Bros. Discovery<\/a> will be no more, and the two companies it\u2019s splitting into<\/a> have some very inspired <\/em>names.<\/p>\n

Today, Warner Bros. Discovery announced<\/a> that \u201cWarner Bros.\u201d and \u201cDiscovery Global\u201d are the names of the two new businesses that will exist after it completes its restructuring plan sometime in mid-2026. Warner Bros. will oversee Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios<\/a>, HBO, HBO Max<\/a>, and Warner Bros. Gaming Studios. And Discovery Global will be responsible for CNN, TNT\u2019s sports offerings in the US, Discovery, Discovery Plus, and Bleacher Report. <\/p>\n

WBD president and CEO David Zaslav will continue to lead the executive team at Warner Bros., while WBD\u2019s current chief financial officer, Gunnar Wiedenfels, will act as president and CEO for Discovery Global.<\/p>\n

In a statement about his new-ish role, Zaslav said that the corporate uncoupling will help put Warner Bros. into \u201ca strong position to launch and continue to meaningfully grow a company worthy of our storied past.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wiedenfels echoed Zaslav\u2019s sentiment and insisted that Discovery Global\u2019s leadership team will \u201censure strong operational execution to drive strategic investments and deliver compelling content to global audiences.\u201d
WBD says that the new names are meant to honor \u201cthe legacy of more than a century of industry-defining storytelling.\u201d But, everything about the company\u2019s restructuring reads very transparently as a move to deal with its massive debt problem.<\/p>\n

Technically speaking, Discovery Global\u2019s debt would no longer be attached directly to Warner Bros., which could help boost the company\u2019s flagging stock price<\/a>. It\u2019s not exactly clear how Discovery Global plans to get itself back in the black, but the company is now looking for a new chief communications and public affairs officer who will probably be tasked with putting a positive spin on this whole situation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
