The pre-acquisition operating group
WBD’s 2025 annual report describes Streaming, Studios and Global Linear Networks. Its portfolio included Warner Bros. film, television and games businesses, HBO, HBO Max, CNN, TNT Sports and Discovery-branded programming. Revenue came from several routes: subscriptions and distribution, advertising, theatrical releases, content licensing, games and other uses of its intellectual property. [1]
