We&#8217;re working closely with the WBD and the regulatory authorities, including the Department of Justice and the European Commissions,&#8221; Sarandos said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re confident we&#8217;re going to be able to secure all the approvals because this deal is pro-consumer, pro-innovation, pro-worker, pro-creator, and it is pro-growth,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sarandos reiterated that in WBD, the deal includes three core businesses Netflix does not currently have, including Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, and related film production\/distribution operations; Warner Bros. Television Studios, Telepictures, Alloy Entertainment, and other TV production arms, and HBO and HBO Max.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to need those teams,&#8221; he said. &#8220;These folks have extensive expertise and experience. We want to stay an run those businesses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sarandos emphasized that the transaction would expand content creation, instead of collapsing it. He said the deal would enable Netflix to &#8220;significantly&#8221; expand its production capabilities in the United States, and keep investing in original content over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This means more opportunities for creative talent and more jobs,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is really a vertical deal for us. It allows us to get access to 100 years of Warner&#8217;s deep content and IP for development. And distribution in more-effective ways that will benefit consumers and the industry as a whole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sarandos says HBO is a very complementary business to Netflix, adding that the current TV market is &#8220;very dynamic&#8221; and &#8220;very competitive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The competitive lines around TV consumption are already blurring as a number of services put their content on the linear services and streaming services at the same time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;More platforms are making their way onto the TV in your living room. TV is not what we grew up on. TV is now about everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sarandos said that recent moves in the industry \u2014 including YouTube&#8217;s deal for exclusive access to the Oscars ceremony and the NFL, networks such as Fox Sports simulcasting the recent Super Bowl on Tubi, Amazon&#8217;s acquisition of MGM Studios, Apple TV competing for Emmys and Oscars, and Instagram&#8217;s move into the scripted entertainment \u2014 underscores the rationale for acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;YouTube is not user-generated content and cat videos any more,&#8221; he said. &#8220;YouTube has full-length films and new TV episodes. The BBC is going to create original content for YouTube. They are TV.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, we compete with them in every dimension. For talent. For ad dollars. For subscription dollars. And for all forms of content. Our [WBD] deal strengthens the market place. And it ensures healthy competition. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re confident in the approval.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/dgLnU5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Subscribe HERE to the FREE <em>Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Netflix revising its accepted $82.7 billion offer for Warner Bros.
