Dec 12 (Reuters) - Warner Bros Discovery on Thursday decided to [separate](https://18plus.fun/read-blog/32_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) its decreasing cable television services such as CNN from streaming and [studio operations](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/70_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) such as Max, preparing for a prospective sale or spinoff of its TV service as more cable customers cut the cable.
+
Shares of Warner jumped after the company said the brand-new structure would be more [deal friendly](https://infosocial.top/read-blog/4020_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) and it [expected](https://famenest.com/read-blog/56093_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) to complete the split by the middle of 2025. Warner shares closed at $12.49, up more than 15%.
+
Media companies are considering options for fading cable TV services, a [longtime cash](https://gamehiker.com/wiki/index.php/User:LucindaForshee8) cow where earnings are wearing down as countless customers embrace [streaming video](https://www.yewiki.org/User:ArturoI102854000).
+
Comcast last month unveiled strategies to divide many of its NBCUniversal cable networks into a brand-new public [company](https://galgbtqhistoryproject.org/wiki/index.php/User:Bryan960781072). The new company would be well capitalized and placed to obtain other cable networks if the market combines, one source told Reuters.
+
Bank of America research expert Jessica Reif Ehrlich composed that Warner Bros Discovery's [cable television](https://younivix.com/read-blog/29921_enhance-your-business-opportunities-with-efficient-sports-apps.html) service assets are a "extremely sensible partner" for Comcast's new spin-off company.
+
"We highly believe there is capacity for relatively sizable synergies if WBD's linear networks were integrated with Comcast SpinCo," composed Ehrlich, utilizing the [industry term](https://chelseafansclub.com/read-blog/13172_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) for standard television.
+
"Further, our company believe WBD's standalone streaming and studio properties would be an appealing takeover target."
+
Under the new structure for Warner Bros Discovery, the cable television company consisting of TNT, Animal Planet and CNN will be housed in an unit called Global Linear Networks.
+
Streaming platforms Max and Discovery+ will be under a [separate division](https://blablasell.com/read-blog/11896_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) together with film studios, including Warner Bros Pictures and New Line Cinema.
+
The restructuring reflects an inflection point for the media industry, as investments in [streaming services](https://www.grandtribunal.org/wiki/User:YvetteFulcher43) such as Warner Bros Discovery's Max are finally settling.
+
"Streaming won as a habits," stated Jonathan Miller, primary [executive](https://coptr.digipres.org/index.php/User:TreyMcQuade53) of [digital media](https://cristianoronaldoclub.com/read-blog/10053_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) investment firm Integrated Media. "Now, it's winning as an organization."
+
Brightcove CEO Marc DeBevoise stated Warner Bros Discovery's brand-new business structure will separate growing studio and streaming possessions from lucrative but [diminishing cable](https://munidigital.iie.cl/wiki/index.php?title=Usuario:Tammi63R94) service, offering a clearer investment picture and most likely setting the phase for a sale or [spin-off](https://www.etymologiewebsite.nl/wiki/Gebruiker:KatieWilbanks) of the cable television system.
+
The media veteran and adviser predicted Paramount and others might take a similar path.
+
Zaslav, a veteran deal-maker who led Discovery through its acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive before [obtaining](https://wiki.streampy.at/index.php?title=User:Luis716287143) the even larger target, AT&T's WarnerMedia, is positioning the business for its next chess move, composed MoffettNathanson expert Robert Fishman.
+
"The question is not whether more pieces will be walked around or knocked off the board, or if more consolidation will take place-- it refers who is the buyer and who is the seller," composed Fishman.
+
Zaslav signified that [scenario](https://wiki.streampy.at/index.php?title=User:Luis716287143) throughout Warner Bros Discovery's investor call last month. He said he anticipated President-elect Donald Trump's administration would be [friendlier](http://www.yasunli.co.id/Yasunli/wikipedia/index.php/Pengguna:ChanelMaxie1) to deal-making, unlocking to media market consolidation.
+
Zaslav had actually [participated](https://gamehiker.com/wiki/index.php/User:LucindaForshee8) in merger talks with [Paramount late](https://dokuwiki.stream/wiki/User:WiltonMarzano) in 2015, though a deal never emerged, according to a regulative filing last month.
+
Others injected a note of caution, keeping in mind Warner Bros Discovery brings $40.4 billion in [financial obligation](https://wiki.streampy.at/index.php?title=User:Nora88U12498031).
+
"The structure change would make it much easier for WBD to sell off its direct TV networks," eMarketer analyst Ross Benes stated, describing the cable television [business](https://miderde.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:AZGEmerson). "However, discovering a buyer will be difficult. The networks owe money and have no indications of development."
+
In August, Warner Bros Discovery wrote down the value of its TV properties by over $9 billion due to uncertainty around fees from cable television and satellite suppliers and [sports betting](https://tartar.app/read-blog/1713_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) rights renewals.
+
This week, the media company announced a multi-year deal increasing the general charges Comcast will pay to disperse Warner Bros Discovery's networks.
+
Warner Bros Discovery is [sports betting](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/70_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) the [Comcast](https://iuridictum.pecina.cz/w/U%C5%BEivatel:KatriceFairchild) contract, together with an offer reached this year with cable and broadband supplier Charter, will be a [design template](https://mxlinkin.mimeld.com/read-blog/652_how-to-withdraw-from-bet9ja-8-step-guide-to-cash-in-your-wins.html) for future negotiations with distributors. That might assist support prices for the domestic pay TV market. (Reporting by Deborah Sophia and Aditya Soni in Bengaluru, Dawn Chmielewski in Los Angeles \ No newline at end of file
