Paramount+ and HBO Max to merge

[MikeD-C05]

Full steam ahead on raising prices for customers, and probably getting rid of ad-free streaming, based on latest trends.

OF course. With every merger they lose jobs by cutting out redundant positions in the combined company and they jack prices to make more money. That's why mergers are not always a good thing for the consumer or the workers of those companies.

Fixed.

Price hike coming.

Was coming anyways, nothing is getting any cheaper.

Price hike coming.

Just like every other Streaming service ...

Remind them, your the Provider, not the End user

I understand that.....YOU understand that....the average customer will just stare at you for an awkward moment and then continue complaining about all the commercials you make them watch.

Price hike coming.

So there is no chance of a deal for Paramount+ and HBO Max? I have Paramount+ already.

Give them a little time, the merger just cleared today.

The name is being changed to Skydance and all of Paramount+, Showtime, DIscovery+, and HBO MAX streaming content is rumored to be merged into one streaming service.

Almost single-handedly they can now go after independent streaming company....Who will they hold hostage first? Pay the ransom or just not carry all our programing.
We had antitrust laws for a reason.

So, what happens if you only want 1 or 2 of those, can you still get them individually ?

And will HBO Max disappear from DTV MyEntertainment?

NBD.

No word on how it will work yet. There is speculation you may be able to still get them individually if you want or a bundle at a cheaper price like Disney does with their bundles. Will probably be 2027 before anything happens though. Takes time.

[Jimbo]

How long will it be till they Then break off and dissolve one of them or just ends up selling one or both of them ... it seems to be a vicious circle .

 

[Bruce]

And Discovery+.

Skydance MAX.

And I hope not, despicable programing, hate (fake) reality shows.
