I think WBD is currently on two minds about the path before them: Go streaming, or cling on to traditional medium. And from what we're seeing so far, the latter seems to have some advantages...
For broadcast
[*]CNN+ axed before launch.
[*]Original shows cancelled on (HBO) Max.
[*]Legacy cartoons removed from Max (possibly going back to CN/Boomerang?).
[*]In some ways the BT Sport acquisition (new cable channel additions).
For streaming?
[*]Failed attempt in moving WB Pictures to streaming only.
[*]Reduced commitment in the CW.
[*]The death of HLN.
[*](Previously) rumored closure of CN.
Contrary to Disney's constant, swift axing of worldwide TV channels for Disney+ (a bit too swift in terms of the Fox/Star switcheroo), WBD's moves are... Messed up, to say the least.
