WarnerMedia Studios & Networks

WarnerMedia Studios & Networks is a division of WarnerMedia that focuses on the company's film and television production studios, as well as its US-based entertainment networks. The division was established in August 2020, and was renamed to its current name in January 2021.

The division's main businesses include the Warner Bros. film and television studio, basic-cable networks (Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TBS, TNT, TruTV and Turner Classic Movies), premium-tier cable networks (HBO and Cinemax), digital media company Otter Media, the over-the-top streaming service HBO Max, and a 50% interest in The CW television network, which it co-owns with ViacomCBS. The division is chaired by Ann Sarnoff.

Background
On March 4, 2019, AT&T announced a major reorganisation of WarnerMedia's assets, dividing WarnerMedia's television properties among three corporate divisions. HBO, along with Turner Broadcasting networks TBS, TNT and TruTV and British cable television company Telewest Group, moved over to WarnerMedia Entertainment, under the leadership of former NBC and Showtime executive Bob Greenblatt.

On May 8, 2019, as part of a broader reorganisation that also brought HBO Enterprises and programming distribution for Turner Entertainment and Telewest under the division, WarnerMedia announced that HBO Home Entertainment would be transferred from WarnerMedia Entertainment to Warner Bros. Home Media and Games.

In May 2019, Kevin Reilly signed a four-year extension of his contract with the company, which additionally made him president of TruTV (alongside the other three WarnerMedia Entertainment basic cable networks), and chief content officer of direct-to-consumer for the new streaming service. On May 31, 2019, Otter Media was transferred from Warner Bros. to WarnerMedia Entertainment, and Otter's COO Andy Forssell became the executive vice president and general manager of the streaming service, while still reporting to Otter CEO Tony Goncalves — who would lead development.

On July 9 of that same year, it was announced that the new streaming service would be known as HBO Max, and launch in early 2020. Casey Bloys, programming president of HBO, continues oversight of the core HBO service including newly-commissioned programming, but has limited involvement in Max Originals programming.
