HBO max removes select content it owns to prepare for merger.


Ryan Kadro joins CNN.
CNN has enlisted a new executive to help it generate programming ideas.

Ryan Kadro, a veteran of “CBS This Morning” and several digital ventures, is set to join CNN as a senior vice president of content strategy, overseeing the development of new programming such as a revamped morning show and other new concepts, according to a spokesperson for the network and two other people familiar with the matter.

Kadro is a former lieutenant to Chris Licht, the CEO of CNN, and succeeded him as executive producer after he left the CBS morning program to work with Stephen Colbert on CBS’ “Late Show.”
 

WB has announced cuts at OWN

The Warner Bros. Discovery layoffs have hit OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network).

Several executives, including Jennifer Giddens, the head of marketing; Karen Grant-Selma, the senior vice president of business and legal affairs; and MaryBeth Cunin, head of programming, are exiting. Nicole Nichols has been released from her executive vice president of communications and strategies duties at Warner Bros Discovery, but continues on with HARPO and Oprah Winfrey, The Wrap has learned.

Prior to working at OWN, Grant-Selma worked in business and legal affairs at DreamWorks Animation, helping lead a new focus in development and production of scripted and non-scripted live action series. She previously worked at ITV Studios America, Live Nation Productions, Universal Pictures Kids & Family Productions, Maker Studios, AMC Networks, NBCUniversal and Miracle Entertainment.
 
ive always wondered what tnt/tbs would be like if Ted never sold
It would have really good shows and be popular networks to watch. And if tnt and tbs stayed the same if Ted never sold other networks like USA, Sci-Fi and most notably WGN Superstation would never sell as WGN was what TBS was in its heyday being a superstation.
 
HBO Max will soon be HBO Min.
Shame because a lot of people really enjoyed it. There’s a lot of content on there that can’t be found on other streaming services. I mainly got it for the classic Hannah Barbara, Looney Tunes, and Tom & Jerry cartoons, but I enjoy watching the new releases of movies as well. Oh and I love the HBO classics like The Sopranos, The Wire, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and originals like Peacemaker and Titans. It’s a shame that I might end up having to pull the plug on this service.

I am very upset about the removal of the Sesame Street episodes. I've actually read a lot of articles about it. This one comes to mind:


So it basically states that nobody is entitled to those episodes, and Sesame Workshop does not owe anyone anything. It's their property, and they can do whatever they want with it. And the thing is, most of those episodes that were on there had not been seen by the public in decades before that. So we're basically just in the same state we were before. Sesame Workshop was actually never really big in releasing old material. And the thing is, they still have a handful of classic episodes up, including the very first episode. I don't think that many people subscribed to HBO Max just for classic Sesame Street. And I don't think many people went there for kids shows. In fact, I think HBO Max is basically being phased out. Sesame Workshop did respond to it by stating they have some full episodes on their YouTube channel, but they're all newer. So these episodes may just end up going back into the vault and never seeing the light of day again.

HBO Max will be gone next year. They will have a new name for the streaming service that will combine both HBO max and discovery +. But what their doing to HBO Max the new streaming service will have mostly discovery+ shows and they will learn real quick that people won't pay for stuff like that.
 
I read AEW is in trouble with all these cuts at WB Discovery and in their chances of a new TV deal with more money next year.
actually, AEW's problems aren't the network, it's basically cause it grew too big too fast and Tony Khan bought out ROH and can't find a TV home for it fast enough, plus now there's reports of backstage drama ranging from a Japanese female talent (Hikaru Shida) getting mad at the company for writing her out of the women's Owen Hart Foundation tournament by saying it was due to injury while she was wrestling matches in Japan before it was revealed her work visa needed to be renewed to most recently a former ROH World champ (Jonathan Gresham) yelling at Tony Khan and demanding to quit the company and now the infighting between CM Punk and Hangman Page cause Page is close to Punk's former Friend Colt Cabana (who the friendship between Punk and Cabana ended over the legal aftermath of Punk's November 2014 appearance on Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast and talked about why Punk quit WWE early that year and WWE and their doctor sued them over it), to heat between Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker (the top star of the women's Division) as well as her on screen sidekick Jamie Hayter being mad at her for breaking her nose for real and Rosa the current AEW Women's World Champ had to run to the bathroom to hide from the angry Hayter and not to mention Eddie Kingston got suspended over attacking Sammy Guevara backstage in real life after he in his in ring character in a promo on Rampage (that didn't air) fat shamed Eddie (who is a guy who is chubby in his looks) and it upset him (not only that, Kingston has a history of turning Kayfabe into real life). needless to say, AEW's in big trouble and it's all happening at a worse time with a post-Vince McMahon WWE becoming must see wrestling again while AEW already hit it's peak and seems to be in a funk and possibly in the process of decline and heading to a WCW in late 1999-early 2001 direction.

I though Noggin used to show old Sesame Street episodes in the early 2000s.
 
So who gets the Hanna-Barbera in Looney Tunes library? Boomerang where is that being shopped around to another network and streaming service
That I'm not sure cuz Ted turner use to own hanna Barbara and that's why they moved them off Tnt and Tbs to launch cartoon network. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
