Warner Bros. Discovery is a media company that makes and sells entertainment. It owns film and television studios, cable channels like CNN, Discovery, and HBO, and streaming services that deliver shows and movies directly to viewers. Its core business is creating content, owning popular brands, and licensing that content across theaters, TV, streaming, and home entertainment.

The company makes money in several ways. It earns subscription fees from streaming and pay-TV channels, advertising on its news and entertainment networks, and licensing fees when other companies use its movies and shows. It also earns from theatrical releases, studio distribution, and selling rights to air or stream its content in different markets.

What makes Warner Bros. Discovery different is that it sits at the center of both old and new media. It still has a large cable and broadcast-style business, but it also controls a major direct-to-consumer streaming library and a deep catalog of well-known franchises. Its customers are mainly households, advertisers, pay-TV distributors, streaming subscribers, and other media companies that pay for content rights.
