WarnerMedia consists of essentially three pieces. But meanwhile, the mere fact that we’re even having this discussion at all means that fuboTV is showing progress on its most important initiative to become profitable - which definitely isn’t sports gambling, and probably isn’t even advertising. That has major implications for AT&T, which owns 71% of WarnerMedia even if the deal goes through and 100% of the division if the deal gets blocked by the DOJ. I’m starting to wonder if fuboTV isn’t, probably inadvertently, sending up a giant warning flare that WarnerMedia might not be worth as much as everyone thinks. As probably every investor and their great-great-grandmother has heard by now, AT&T ( NYSE: T ) is unwinding the last of its (recent) big merger bets and selling WarnerMedia, the old TimeWarner, to Discovery ( DISCA ) ( DISCK ) ( DISCB ) for about $20 billion or so less than they bought it for, depending on how exactly you do the math. I haven’t written on fuboTV ( NYSE: FUBO) since the early part of last year, but as I’ve been on a bit of a media industry writing binge lately, I wanted to put to (digital) paper something I’ve been thinking about more and more the last few months.
