    I’ll never understand why they decided to call themselves Warner Bros Discovery. Would be like disney renaming themselves to “disney History Channel”

      This is the same company that had cinemax, HBO, HBO go, HBO now, HBO Max, and Max. Naming isn’t exactly their strong suit.

        And at least the last rename isn’t like international in some places we still have HBO Max naming.

        Also back when it was just cable there were like 10 different HBO channels, with slight name variations.

      Also isn’t who the head of discovery was now the head of the merged company? He probably wants to keep that name but can’t get rid of Warner Bros because of brand recognition
