What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBloomberg reports Paramount has completed its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, reshaping the media and streaming landscape. Lola Cruz is outside the studio gates.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, the Guardian puts the deal at one hundred eleven billion dollars, forming a new media empire. I've covered sieges with less paperwork.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBehind me, a security guard has asked me to leave twice. The second time he did it in a Bugs Bunny voice.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI did not laugh.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe seagull from Long Beach followed me here. Either it's a coincidence or it has a streaming subscription and a grudge.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBloomberg lists the tickers as P-A-R-M and W-B-D. What happens to your passwords and your cartoons is unclear, and nobody inside would tell me.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. Two giant companies became one, and somewhere a subscription price just felt a chill. Back to the desk.
