WBD’s TV Networks Worth Less Than My Groceries

KEY POINTS

  • Paramount claims Warner Bros. Discovery overvalues its cable networks like CNN and TBS.
  • They argue WBD’s Netflix deal implies a higher value for these networks than they believe it deserves.
  • Paramount asserts WBD’s TV networks are worth much less, around $1 per share, due to debt and declining business.
  • WBD plans to split its streaming and TV networks into separate companies, with the separation expected in Q3 2026, before the Netflix deal closes.
Paramount Skydance is throwing shade at Warner Bros. Discovery, claiming their TV networks like CNN and TBS are vastly overvalued. “How is WBD attributing value to this equity?” asks Ellison, suggesting the networks are worth only about $1/share where others see a lot more. The beef revolves around a $30+ billion deal debate, with WBD touting Netflix’s $27.75/share deal as the gold standard. Meanwhile, Paramount calls WBD’s network segment a 'declining business' saddled with debt, valuing it at just a dollar a share. It’s basically listing WBD’s assets to see what’s worth attaching a National Geographic sticker — oh wait, it’s trash.”
