    Only the business consultants who recommended rebranding “HBO Max” to “HBO Max” (over the course of three years) could’ve come up with something so bold.

          “If we confuse them now, we can get another contract in a few years to fix the naming situation again!”

    What’s in a name?

    Apparently a whole lot

    We’re at the point that any name recognition is worth serious coin

    Merging the 2 companies is the best idea ever!

    Splitting into 2 companies is the best idea ever!

    “I hate Discovery.”

    “This isn’t the Star Trek show.”

    “Oh… never mind.”

    Hey, are we going to get the original Discovery channel back? Or any of the good ones from old cable? No? Oh well…
