The merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery will be known as Warner Bros. Discovery.

Warner Bros. Discovery will be the brand under which the WarnerMedia e Descoberta catalogs will be united.

O Descoberta da Warner Bros. name seeks to “honor, celebrate and elevate” the “world’s most historic” creative studio and unite it with Discovery’s non-fiction content. The tagline chosen by the new company includes the iconic line from The Maltese Falcon: “The stuff that dreams are made of.” It represents, according to the brand, “a further homage to the rich legacy of Warner Bros. and the focus of what the proposed company will be.”

In May, AT&T and Discovery reached a definitive agreement to combine WarnerMedia’s entertainment, sports and news assets with Discovery’s core international entertainment and sports businesses.

200,000 hours of content

The content company will have 200,000 hours of content and will bring together more than 100 brands, including HBO, Warner Bros., Discovery, DC, CNN, WB Games, Turner Sports, Cartoon Network, HGTV, Food Network, TNT, TBS, Turner Classic Movies, Wizarding World, Adult Swim, Eurosport, Magnolia, TLC, Animal Planet and ID, among others.

As of today, Descoberta da Warner Bros. has already revealed that, beyond serving as a hub for all these brands, the union will allow them to increase investment in original content and programming; create opportunities for underrepresented and independent storytellers; and drive greater investment in “high quality, family-friendly” non-fiction content.
