WBD Shakes Up the Bidding Game

They Want More Money

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is playing hard to get. They want potential buyers to up their offers. Netflix, Comcast, and Paramount Skydance have until December 1 to submit better bids. They already sent in their first offers on November 20, but WBD wasn't impressed.

It's Not Just About Money

WBD is also focused on speed. They want this deal done by Christmas. They don't want to drag it out. If a better offer comes in, they might start talking exclusively with one of the companies. But they're not in a rush to split up just yet.

A Big Change Is Coming

Meanwhile, WBD is planning a major split. The company will be divided into two parts:

• Streaming and Studios
• Cable

This is set to happen in mid-2026. But for now, they're focused on getting the best deal possible.

Why the Hurry?

Maybe WBD wants to secure their future. The media world is changing fast. Streaming is big now, while cable is losing popularity. WBD wants to stay ahead of the game.

What's Next for the Buyers?

The buyers have a big decision to make. They need to decide if WBD is worth the price. They have to think about the future of entertainment—and they have to do it quickly.
