Taking the streamer to the Max
Spagnoletto also said that Discovery+ would remain as a separate streamer outside of the combined service, though Discovery+ users will have plenty of opportunities to join the bigger platform.
“Discovery+ is an extremely well-oiled machine for a superfan of that type of content. So to shut it down would be both strategically and tactically a mistake,” he said, adding that the new combined service will be the biggest priority.
Though Spagnoletto wouldn’t reveal the name of the combined service, reports late last year claimed the company would go with “Max.”
During the Convergent TV Summit, Cahillane also pitched Spagnoletto other possible names on stage, including “HB-Oh My God” and “Mad MAX: Content Road.”
As far as the actual name of the combined streamer, time will tell, with more info coming at next month’s Warner Bros. Discovery press event.
