WarnerMedia, LLC, formerly Time Warner Inc., was an American multinational entertainment and mass media conglomerate. After being acquired by AT&T, the company became a wholly owned subsidiary in its last years of existence. WarnerMedia's headquarters were at 30 Hudson Yards in New York City.
The company's history stems back to Kinney National Services, which purchased the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts film studio in 1969, and later reincorporated as Warner Communications Inc. (WCI) in 1972 after divesting non-core businesses. After merging with Time Inc. on January 10, 1990, the resulting company became the world's largest media conglomerate as Time Warner Inc. Throughout the 1990s, Time Warner consolidated through acquiring Turner Broadcasting System and launching the Time Warner Cable brand. A transformative event in the company's history was its unsuccessful merger with America Online (AOL) in 2001 which led to substantial losses and numerous spinoffs. After several years of corporate downsizing, Time Inc. was spun off in 2014.
