Netflix argues HBO Max deal could boost value, not curb competition

At a Senate antitrust hearing, Netflix defended its proposed acquisition of HBO Max and Warner Bros film assets, arguing the deal would increase consumer value and keep streaming competitive. It noted that about 80% of HBO Max subscribers also subscribe to Netflix, and CEO Ted Sarandos said customers can cancel with one click if prices rise, while regulators consider guardrails to prevent price hikes.

Heated Rivalry Hits 9 Million Viewers, but Nielsen Won’t Elevate It

Heated Rivalry Hits 9 Million Viewers, but Nielsen Won’t Elevate It

Since its late-November HBO Max premiere, Heated Rivalry averages about 9 million US viewers per episode, a figure HBO says will rise in the coming weeks and has earned a second-season order from HBO Max and Crave. However Nielsen’s streaming rankings do not place the show in the top 10, likely because it’s classified as an acquired series rather than an original, and its limited weekly release with a smaller initial library makes it harder to amass the total viewing time Nielsen uses for rankings.

AEW Stays with Discovery as Netflix-WB Pact Shuffles Streaming Winds

A 519-page proxy update on the Netflix–Warner Bros. Discovery deal indicates All Elite Wrestling (AEW) rights will stay with Discovery. AEW’s Dynamite and premium live events are expected to remain on HBO Max through the current contract, with a potential move to Turner Sports’ upcoming streaming app after expiration (around 2027–28). Netflix is unlikely to carry AEW under current terms, amid broader shifts in sports-rights ownership and regional licensing.
