Every once in a while, a story comes along that stops you in your tracks. For Eitan and Carl, this weekend was absolutely consumed by the announcement that AT&T would spin out WarnerMedia into a new venture with Discovery. This is Stuck In Development’s Big Game and its raison d'être.
Join the two as they take an exhaustive look at the merger and its implications on the future of AT&T and streaming at large. They recap the corporate history of AT&T, assign a valuation to WarnerMedia’s current business, and try to discern the rationale behind the merger from the perspective of both AT&T and Discovery. This week also features the return of former SID character Kevin Mayer and the ascendance of legacy media titan David Zaslav to the streaming big leagues. Carl and Eitan also touch on a potential Amazon-MGM acquisition and Shrek’s 20th anniversary.
