Convince Warner Bros. Discovery to acquire A+E Global Media
Convince Warner Bros. Discovery to acquire A+E Global Media
The Issue
Starz's intent to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery Global Linear Networks concerns many of us. This move poses numerous risks, ranging from reducing diversity of content to limiting the innovative storytelling that audiences have come to appreciate. The bid for Warner Bros. Discovery’s cable assets comes amidst interest in various properties, notably A+E Global Media, which manages iconic channels such as Lifetime and History.
A+E Global Media has been established as a household name, offering an array of channels that enrich our lives with diverse programming. It is currently owned in partnership by The Walt Disney Company and Hearst Communications. Lifetime and History produce programs that are culturally significant and stimulate public discourse. These channels are enjoyed by millions around the globe and need a stable platform to continue thriving.
To safeguard the future of this esteemed media group, Warner Bros. Discovery should consider acquiring the 50% stake held by Disney Entertainment Television. Hearst Communications would continue as the company's joint venture partner, ensuring that A+E Global Media remains robust and dynamic.
Warner Bros. Discovery is uniquely positioned to nurture and expand A+E Global Media’s vast potential. Their expertise in diverse storytelling and large-scale media management would help infuse A+E's content with fresh perspectives, while also aligning perfectly with Warner Bros. Discovery’s expansive media portfolio. Engaging with such a strategic acquisition would not only serve their business interests but also benefit their global audience by sustaining beloved content.
By acquiring A+E Global Media, Warner Bros. Discovery would affirm its commitment to preserving and advancing quality television programming. We ask Warner Bros. Discovery to seize this opportunity to strengthen its media offerings with A+E’s valuable assets.
Please join us in urging Warner Bros. Discovery to take this significant step. By signing this petition, we can collectively push for a future where diverse, meaningful content continues to prosper on the platforms we love.
To take further action, please email and tell them directly that we demand to know the progress made toward this commitment.
