Good morning. Three years after its formation through a merger, Warner Bros. Discovery is splitting up, and its CFO is stepping into his first CEO role.
The media and entertainment giant announced on Monday that it will separate into two publicly traded companies through a tax-free transaction. Gunnar Wiedenfels, CFO since 2022, will become CEO of global networks, the new company that will include cable channel businesses CNN, TNT, TBS, Discovery, and more.
