On November 2014, it was proposed that this article be moved from Time Warner to TimeWarner. The result of the discussion was not moved.


WarnerMedia/Discovery, Inc. merger

I suggest that a new page be created, and it should include all the info about the merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc.. This page should be called Proposed acquisition of WarnerMedia by Discovery, Inc.. AdamDeanHall (talk) 15:56, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Splitting proposal

Honestly, IMHO Warner Communications and WarnerMedia are pretty different companies because the latter was born after the merger with Time Inc. So the article should be split into two (one on Warner Communications and one on WarnerMedia). In fact, WarnerMedia subsidiares are essentially the same as Time Warner's (HBO, DC, and TBS). What'bout it? 79.16.235.72 (talk) 11:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Company name

I suggest making a link/comment at the beginning of the article to Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. because WarnerMedia was spun off and merged with Discovery, Inc. on April 8, 2022. That way it would be clearer that the company is now called Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. 2A02:21B4:14E4:4500:CCEE:728B:D45A:9B1D (talk) 11:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

WBD is a separate entity, and thus Warner Bros. Discovery has its own article. It is linked near the bottom of the lead. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:01, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Ownership history of WarnerMedia

Would it be possible if we add more companies to the list of Parent Companies? Also, was Time Warner AOL, Inc. a publicly trading company or was it owned by AOL. There are some inconsistencies in the article that make it hard to tell. Specifically: "AOL stock fell from $220 Billion to $20 Billion" Did you mean AOL Time Warner?

This article needs permanent protection

I just caught some obvious vandalism in the lead sentence which was inserted on 30 December 2021 from a now-blocked IP address. Apparently no one had caught it for over two years. And that was just the first paragraph.

The underlying problem seems to be that no one cares about Warner Bros. and their crummy movies ever since they lost Christopher Nolan to Universal Pictures. So it looks like very few regular editors are monitoring this article and the vandals are running amok. This article needs to be permanently protected. Coolcaesar (talk) 14:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
