What company was created when Discovery merged with WarnerMedia in 2022?

The company created when Discovery merged with WarnerMedia in 2022 was Warner Bros. Discovery.

The transaction closed in April 2022 after AT&T separated WarnerMedia and combined it with Discovery. The new company brought together Warner Bros. film and television studios, HBO, CNN, Discovery Channel, and many other networks and brands.

The merger was designed to create a major global entertainment company with both premium scripted content and unscripted factual programming. David Zaslav, previously Discovery’s chief executive, became chief executive of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The company’s streaming services were initially kept separate in many markets: HBO Max and Discovery+ continued as distinct products before being combined into Max in the United States in 2023. WarnerMedia was the former AT&T division, not the name of the merged company.
