Warner Bros. Discovery Considers Split Amid Streaming Strength
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is under financial pressure from roughly $38 billion in gross debt and a declining traditional linear TV business, while its Max streaming service has seen subscriber growth and a strong advertising performance from ad-supported tiers. Those divergent trajectories are reportedly driving consideration of a corporate split to separate WBD’s digital/streaming assets from its legacy cable operations. The report frames the move as a potential response to structural differences in growth and monetization between streaming and linear television.
WBD Positions Streaming Assets for Strategic Acquisition
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) indicates its streaming and studio assets are potential acquisition targets, while pursuing a strategic spin-out. The company said there is an active process to identify a buyer for the Warner Bros. streaming and studios business, as it plans to spin out Discovery Global as a standalone entity around mid-2026. CEO David Zaslav noted the eventual buyer would also receive a third Gremlins movie slated for 2027. Financially, WBD reported Q3 revenue of about $9.0 billion, down 6% year over year, with linear TV network revenue down 22% to $3.8B and streaming ads up 15% to $235M as streaming subscribers rose to 128 million (up 2.3 million QoQ). Total Q3 ad revenue fell 16% to $1.4B. The quarter benefited from Olympics-related ad boosts in Europe; the studio segment grew 24% YoY. CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels described the underlying tech as a platform with “skins” on top to ease monetization.
