Netflix to buy Warner Bros film and streaming businesses
Not sure this is a good thing for consumers.

Quote:
Netflix has agreed to buy the film and streaming businesses of Warner Bros Discovery in major Hollywood deal worth $72bn (£54bn).
The streaming giant had emerged as the top bidder for Warner Bros ahead of rivals Comcast and Paramount Skydance after a drawn-out battle.
Warner Bros owns franchises including Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, and the streaming service HBO Max.
The takeover is set to lead to a radical reshaping of the US film and media industry, but analysts have warned that it could face resistance from competition authorities

Much needed ? why is that ?
HBO produce a lot of good shows, not sure I like the idea of them being owned by Netflix.
Edit: Not sure what you are trying to link to, it loads a post about Crystal Palace.

This is almost inevitably going to lead to Netflix’s competitors seeking to merge with other streamers.

Re: Netflix to buy Warner Bros film and streaming businesses
My memory is not as good as it used to be but l do remember someone telling us that the world of streaming would be cheaper for people to subscribe to, well here we are several years later and prices have doubled if not tripled to subscribe to the many streamers out there..
