Netflix buying Warner Bros

I'm sure the Trump admin performed a thorough analysis of the costs, benefits, and how it will serve the public interest/good before providing final approval and allowing the deal to proceed :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, the dream goal here is the Amazon Prime model of "That'll be $3.99" every single time you turn on your TV.

The Amazon TV you purchased from Amazon, using your Amazon debit card linked to your Amazon bank account. At least your car manufacturer, home lender and energy provider will be Apple.

Paramount is already bitching

This is standard. They are setting the stage for a shareholder lawsuit attempting to block the transaction under the Revlon doctrine. But the Revlon doctrine is hollowed out to the point of emptiness, so this is mostly just noise

Back in the 1990s, a board showing favoritism to one cash bidder over another would have been seen as breaching their fiduciary duties -- or more precisely, could be seen as doing so. By the 2010s, favoritism to a cash bidder was acceptable and even potentially desirable, so long as the board didn't have any personal interest in any of the bidders.
 
So, in a few years are we going to be back to the old times of watching all channels through a single provider of channels (like it was with Comcast or Spectrum or Directv or...)?

I read that they agreed to continue to do theatrical releases.

Netflix has been pretty open that they really covet Oscars, which is why they've given some of their in-house films short/limited theatrical releases in the past so they can be considered for Oscars. I would imagine they'd kick that into overdrive if/once this is approved.

I'd be surprised, because it looks like we're gonna have Netflix, Disney, Apple, & Amazon all as content providers going forward and all are big enough to survive and thrive.

If only we can have a few more such acquisitions, perhaps I won’t need a dozen subscriptions to watch all the tv shows I’d like to see.

Netflix is the only one I pay for. I have Prime Video because I have a Prime subscription. There are shows on Apple. HBO Max, Disney + and Paramount + I would like to watch, but I am too cheap to pay for them and raslly don't have the time to watch everything I would like already.
