In today’s video, we break down the massive industry shockwave surrounding reports of a potential Netflix–Warner Bros Discovery merger—and why this deal could become one of the most controversial antitrust cases in entertainment history.

We’ll explore:

📌 Why a Netflix–WBD merger would face intense scrutiny from the DOJ and FTC

📌 The risks to competition, creators, and consumers

📌 What past antitrust cases (AT&T/Time Warner, Disney/Fox, Paramount decrees, etc.) can tell us about the likelihood of approval

But that’s not all—Warner Bros Discovery wasn’t short on suitors. In this video, we also dive into:
