The decision to showcase the Warner Bros. studio name in the company is telling and was well received by studio rank-and-file.

AT&T and Discovery rocked the industry on May 17 by unveiling plans to combine Discovery and AT&T’s Time Warner assets into a joint venture that would be spun off as a separate entity.

Zaslav said that Warner Bros. is being included in the new name because it is “synonymous with 98 years of excellence.”
