voteinorout on Instagram: "Sen. #ElizabethWarren is blasting a potential #Paramount and #WarnerBrosDiscovery merger as a “disaster,” warning it would shrink competition across film, streaming, and cable, raising prices and limiting choices for consumers in the #Media industry.
Warner Bros. Discovery is already one of the top five U.S. film studios and owns HBO, Max, CNN, HGTV, Food Network, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Turner Classic Movies after its 2022 merger with Discovery. Paramount Global controls Paramount Pictures, Paramount+, CBS, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, and Showtime. Under federal antitrust law, the Department of Justice must review major mergers to assess harm to competition. Warren argues combining two major studios and major streaming platforms could reduce creative opportunities for writers and producers while concentrating pricing power and decision making in fewer hands."
