Discovery will combine HBO Max and Discovery Plus following TimeWarner merger

After announcing their $43 billion merger, WarnerMedia and Discovery have answered questions about what will happen to the two channels. According to Variety, Discovery's CFO said during a recent panel at the 30th Annual Media, Internet and Telecom Conference that the company plans to combine the two platforms into one unified streaming service.

He said that one of the most important things was that they believed in a combined product.

It will take a few months for Warner Bros. Discovery to do it in a way that is great for subscribers.

The introduction of a single sign-on and the sharing of content between the two platforms were suggested byWiedenfels. The executive didn't answer the question of how much it will cost to subscribe to the new service. Discovery Plus and HBO Max start at $5 and $10 per month, with both platforms offering more expensive ad-free tiers.

Discovery and TimeWarner plan to unify their streaming platforms. When the merger was announced last year, it was seen as a move that would make the two companies better able to compete with other companies.
