    TIL Warner Brothers owns HBO.

    Totally did not know that. I know that AT&T sold it but didn’t realize Warner Brothers bought it.

      WB has always had ties to HBO & has traditionally focused on showing WB content.

      Discovery, Scripps, Time Warner & HBO were all tied up in the Discovery-AT&T merger.

      HBO is now part of Warner Media, which is part of Warner Discovery.

      That’s why we went from an app with incredible HBO shows and movies, to Max which is full of Discovery channel “reality” TV garbage.
