Warner Bros Discovery have essentially pulled a large chunk of Looney Tunes and Flintstones content from HBO Max, originally citing a maintenance situation but later revealing to Variety that they "will not, in fact, be coming back to the service."
They appear to still be streaming on their other, less popular and niche streaming service Boomerang, which is primarily WBD's streaming platform for classic and 00s cartoons. What I'm more baffled about is why WBD would remove this content, let alone feeling an obligation to continue streaming them on services audiences likely have never heard of, since LT is part of WB's heritage.
I hardly see HBO Max (or "Max", or "BEAM", or whatever the hell WBD wants to call their streaming service in the next few months) being an opportune streaming service for dedicated WB fans, since it seems they can't please both fans of WB and Discovery. It's like Cadbury and Tayto's mixing toge- oh, that actually happened.
