The only streaming service they have keep separate in the US is Pluto TV for 5 years or another free ad supported streaming service.....

Nothing stopping them adding Discovery+ free to air series & Channels to 5 or Pluto TV aswell though , one of WBD last actions was agreeing a deal with ITV to add TLC and Quest collections to ITVX , Discovery+ hasn't been mentioned much by anyone presumably because it's in less and less countries now as a standalone service.

Paramount+ is reportedly working on a free tier

Take no notice of me I hadn't had my coffee lol, I got wires crossed.
The one i meant was short term the apps will be seperate.

any idea then hbo max and paramount plus may merge if we were to guess? i assume 2028 since everything takes forever

Could be earlier?

Champions League will be streaming on Paramount+ from next September , this was confirmed at the first Skydance UK upfront, since they are now handing ad sales in house for Paramount+ from January instead of Sky Media...

Hard to see TNT Sports remaining separate from that without it.

BT wrote off the entire value of its 50% stake in TNT Sports because of loss of Champions League

Apparently their was a video featuring various Paramount and Warner Bros. brands
