This fresh structure aims to sharpen focus, with each division pursuing its own tailored strategic goals.
Global Linear Networks will concentrate on maximizing profitability and cash flow, continuing to reduce debt, while Streaming & Studios will drive expansion and capitalize on rising investments.
“This marks an exciting step forward in our transformation,” said David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery.
“Since our merger, we’ve made tremendous strides, not only improving our financial standing but also delivering unparalleled entertainment to audiences worldwide.
This new structure enhances our flexibility, positioning us to seize emerging opportunities and accelerate value creation for our shareholders.”
The company plans to begin implementing this structure immediately, with full completion expected by mid-2025. In tandem, the board will continue evolving to support the company’s strategic vision.
