Broadcast: Warner Bros. Discovery takes shape as new era begins

Story from Broadcast:

Warner Bros. Discovery officially began trading today, with UK operations signalling 'business as usual' although key leadership positions are under the spotlight.

Broadcast understands top conversations are underway but that there has been little further all-staff communication beyond the public statements made by the leadership of WBD following the closing of the deal on Friday.

Plans for future change to the International operations, particularly the UK and EMEA businesses, are yet to emerge and no timeline has been given for how the businesses will integrate in the future. Instead the message from domestic operations is one of "business as usual".

One major change that is apparent is where key leadership figures will be based, following chief exec David Zaslav's unveiling of his top team.
