As a gaming enthusiast, I’d put it like this: “Yesterday, I got some inside scoop from Gunnar Wiedenfels, the Chief Financial Officer at Warner Bros. Discovery. He shared that they’re giving Max a fresh look and rebranding it as HBO Max. The reason? To make our streaming service more appealing and easier for consumers to understand and enjoy.
According to Wiedenfels, what truly sets us apart and significantly impacts our growth is our focus on quality. It’s the exceptional content we can create that no one else can match, as he emphasized during a talk at the MoffettNathanson Media, Internet, and Communications Conference, highlighting popular HBO series supporting Max.
2020 marked the debut of HBO Max, a platform that housed numerous beloved HBO series. Then, in 2023, it was rebranded as Max. This transformation came as Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) aimed to expand the streaming service with a more universally appealing content library. As WBD executive stated, “The market was saturated with something-for-everyone options. And we, of course, entered the scene with a combined portfolio, encompassing our Discovery Networks and HBO.
As a gamer, I’m transitioning from a “more is better” mindset to a “better is better” approach when it comes to gaming content. It seems that players are drawn more towards unique, high-quality experiences in an ever-expanding gaming landscape. In essence, the market has made it clear: quality stands out as the true game-changer.
Wiedenfels also brought up the potential for WBD to undergo a significant company split during this turbulent streaming era. He mentioned that there’s been more willingness to discuss different possibilities, opportunities, and they’re preparing to seize any advantageous opportunity that comes their way, as many anticipate another wave of industry mergers and acquisitions in the near future.
Last week, David Faber from CNBC reported that the financial head of Warner Bros. Discovery was commenting on potential changes in their company structure, similar to Comcast’s separation of its cable TV channels. Faber suggested that the studio part of Warner Bros. might be merged with HBO Max, while the linear cable channels belonging to Discovery could form a separate company on their own.
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has started reshaping the company, considering the potential separation of its traditional TV properties. By December 2024, they announced that their organizational setup had been revamped, creating a distinct global linear TV sector, apart from their streaming and studio divisions.
Wiedenfels acknowledged that Worldwide BD (WBD) has initiated the preliminary stages of a corporate restructuring plan, aiming for completion by mid-2025. When queried about the schedule for strategic moves within the company to unveil the hidden worth of its studio assets, Wiedenfels refrained from peering into a crystal ball.

He mentioned that he couldn’t provide a precise deadline, and there isn’t one set. However, it’s clear that we both believe our stock price doesn’t accurately represent the true worth of our company. Yet, he emphasized that the recent corporate restructuring has granted WBD increased flexibility, along with improved transparency for its linear TV, studio, and streaming operations.
