Warner Bros. Discovery held a conference call in the past week where they addressed several aspects including the merger of their two streaming service HBO Max and Discovery+ with Africa expected to get before early 2025 another was regarding the content on their platforms.
Apparently, Warner Bros. Discovery plans to ship more content to their streaming service and sell less to local providers like M-Net and e.tv. On top of cancelling several productions from HBO Max like Batgirl and Little Ellen. They'll also be targeting various local productions across the world.
Warner Bros. Discovery operates Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Toonami and Boing across Africa through the likes of MultiChoice's DStv and GOtv, StarTimes' StarSat, Telkom's TelkomOne, Canal+ and Azam TV.
Cartoon Network, Africa's top entertainment channel for children has been hotspot for Warner's local endeavours for almost a decade with productions like Dance Club, Ben 10 Challenge, My Cartoon Friend, CN To The Rescue and Pop-Up Party which are likely to be yesterday's news.
Last month, HBO Max and Cartoon Network greenlit a Nigerian animated series Iyanu: Child of Wonder as seen with the sequel Scoob: Holiday Haunt. They're not only targeting content that's already out in the airwaves but content that has yet to be released.
