Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered in New York City. It was formed through the spin-off of WarnerMedia by AT&T, and its merger with Discovery, Inc. on April 8, 2022. On April 23, 2026, it was agreed that the company would be sold to Paramount Skydance, though this proposed deal still awaits approval from U.S. federal regulators.

Warner Bros. Discovery operates via two divisions: Streaming & Studios and Global Linear Networks. Streaming & Studios includes the flagship Warner Bros. studios, HBO, DC Entertainment, and the Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming services. Global Linear Networks largely includes advertising-supported cable networks. Those networks were inherited from its predecessors Discovery (such as Discovery Channel among others), Scripps Networks Interactive (such as HGTV among others), and Turner Broadcasting System (such as Cartoon Network, Boomerang, CNN, TBS, and TNT). Warner Bros. Discovery International is also included in the division, which manages broadcasting operations outside of the United States.
