Unfortunately Paramount will retain HBO, and auction off Discovery, which no one wants anyway.

Like buying Yahoo circa 2015...

Like buying Aol, circa 2000

The audience has already left and it's never, ever coming back.

Paramount wants CNN, which is currently under Discovery.
I literally do not understand this perspective. If that was true they would have let Netflix buy Warner Bros., which would have spun off CNN, and Skydance could have scooped it up for much much less money than buying the entirety of Warner Bros/discovery.
