Warner Bros. Discovery will divide into two separate publicly traded companies, aiming to sharpen focus and maximize the value of its expansive media assets, the company announced Monday.
In a landmark shake-up, Warner Bros. Discovery revealed plans on Monday to split into two distinct publicly traded companies. The strategic move is designed to better capitalize on the company’s wide-ranging media assets by creating more focused operational units.
The first company will consolidate Warner Bros. Discovery’s entertainment-heavy divisions, including Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO, and the HBO Max streaming service.
The second company will house the firm's television and sports businesses, such as CNN, TNT Sports, Discovery+, Bleacher Report, and various European free-to-air networks.
“This restructuring allows each business to operate with more strategic clarity and flexibility, while delivering greater value to shareholders,” the company said in a corporate statement cited by international media.
To support the restructuring, Warner Bros. Discovery will take out a $17.5 billion loan, which it plans to recapitalize before the formal division is completed.
The move marks one of the most significant reorganizations in the media industry in recent years and reflects the growing pressure on legacy media firms to adapt to rapid shifts in audience behavior, streaming competition, and digital transformation.
